Every week, the school offers a comprehensive recreational program. You can learn more about Quito and Ecuador during dance classes, city tours, cooking classes, and fiestas. The school also organizes interesting excursions around the city, for example to Otavalo, Papallacta, or Mitad del Mundo.

The following activities are offered regularly (selection):

• City tour. From the first day of your instruction, you can take a tour after class so that you can get to know the city and find your way around from the very beginning. We will show you the most important things you need to know for daily life in Quito, such as withdrawing money, riding the bus, using Internet cafés, and shopping.
