The Centro de Estudios Interamericanos was founded in 1992. The Centro sponsors academic activities independently and in conjunction with universities in North and South America. We offer 16 English language courses to the Cuenca community. The classroom is structured around similar foreign language programs with varying proficiency levels. The calendar year is divided into four terms of 50 classroom hours each.
Class size is limited to twelve students.

Nearby parks such as El Cajas, the wildlife preserves of Mazan, and the Incan fortress of Ingapirca provide dramatic opportunities for exploring the Andes. It is very much easier in the long run to make all visa arrangements from one's home country before coming here.
