Spanish course in Cuenca, Ecuador!

Discover the countless colonial treasures of Cuenca! A Spanish course in Cuenca, with its UNESCO World Heritage Site historic centre, will leave you breathless. The beautiful domes of the New Cathedral stand as the finest example of Cuenca’s architectural glory, but almost every street in the atmospheric old town is a treat for the eyes. Centuries-old plazas bustle with locals chatting and colourful indigenous markets, where ancestors of the Incas sell traditional handicrafts.

Cuenca has plenty of museums where you can delve into the history of the Incas and their predecessors. Of these, the Museo del Banco Central, which incorporates the Inca ruins of Pumapungo, is the most impressive. As the third largest city in Ecuador, Cuenca also has its fair share of bars and nightclubs. Recover from the night before amid the great natural beauty of the Cajas National Park, an unspoilt haven of reflective glacial lakes and cloud-shrouded peaks, just to the west of the city.
