By staying with a welcoming host family, you can practice Spanish and learn about the culture first hand.
Homestays of 2 or more weeks in different Ecuadorian cities and towns are available all year round.
Our homestay coordinator in Quito, Ecuador´s capital city, and our local representatives in other areas of the country carefully select our host families. They are in touch with you and your hosts during your stay to assure that everyone is having a rewarding homestay experience.
EIL Ecuador´s host families have a reputation for being warm and fun-loving, making it easy for you to feel at home. Your host family will meet you upon arrival in Ecuador and right away treat you as a family member.
You can combine the homestay with Spanish classes at EIL´s Language Center and/or you can volunteer for a community service program.
