Why not try yoga on a magical beach? Yoga has been found to aid the body immensely, improving muscle strength, circulation, and easing stress and tension while improving balance--a fantastic complement to surfing!

PREPARATION FOR THE DELE EXAM
The "Instituto Cervantes" only recognizes the DELE (Diploma for Spanish as a Foreign Language) as a certificate for foreign students that wish to study in Spanish universities and work in Spanish speaking countries. Normally, this course comprises 4 weeks of intensive study--2 weeks of normal study and 2 weeks of preparation for the exam itself. Teachers at our Spanish school are certified to prepare students to take and pass the DELE exam.
VOLUNTEER & ECOLOGIAL PROGRAM
Due to the socioeconomic needs from which much of the Ecuadorian population suffers (as in other Latin American countries), many communities have found themselves in need of seeking government and private help in order to maintain decent living conditions.
