Description:
There is no better way to experience Ecuador! This 8 week adventure programme gives you an insight into the culture, the local people, the language and the natural wonders of Ecuador. Travelling around the country as part of a multi-national group, this experience of a lifetime is the ideal preparation for either a) volunteer work or b) further travels through South America on completion of the program. In a nutshell, this program is designed to develop your understanding and awareness of this amazing country whilst experiencing some 'Off the beaten track' parts of Ecuador. Learn Spanish, occasionally stay with host families, trek through the Amazon, white-water raft, chance your arm at salsa dancing, and meet like-minded adventurous spirits. This program is perfect for either singles or couples seeking a safe, informative and adventurous way to travel through an exotic and unknown country as part of a group. Meeting new friends and traveling together while overcoming challenges and experiencing a new culture is a large part of Adventure Hearts concept. On completion of the 8 week program, Adventure Heart will arrange a volunteer work position on your behalf. It is a great benefit to first have travelled through Ecuador and learnt about the culture and language of this fascinating country. While travelling around, one will learn about the various volunteer work opportunities, and then choose from a list of available positions. One can choose to do volunteer work in Ecuador itself and/or in the Galapagos Islands!
