The Ecuador Seminar includes several trips which broaden students' knowledge and appreciation of the people, land and culture of Ecuador. These trips are highlights of the semester and are included in the cost of the program. It is a rustic experience requiring the spirit of a true adventurer. Students sleep in typical huts of the area and hike through the jungle to learn about the unique flora and fauna of the area.
Students fly to the islands and then embark on a several day boat tour to various islands.
It is a remarkable experience. During the pre-term, there is a Quito tour including a visit to Mitad del Mundo and colonial Quito.
