"My sisters and I spent a week at the Academia de Espanol Surpacifico, in Manta, as part of the Explore Ecuador traveling program. It was a lovely experience! The teachers were wonderful: well-prepared, organized, and patient. The school provided good host families for all of the students and had many fun activities including paragliding and rafting. The director, Manuel, is kind and caring and takes a real interest in providing for all the students." - Marin Tollefson
