Montanita ist eine Partystadt schlecht hin und sehr touristisch und laut. Das muss man halt mögen. Die Sprachschule ist spitzenmäßig mit tollen, lustigen und spitzen Lehrern. Auch das Surfen in dieser Gegend machte riesen Spaß. Um jedoch einen näheren, "echteren" Blick vom Land zu bekommen, muss man meiner Meinung auch fernab von der Partystadt reisen. Der Aufenthalt in der Gastfamilie war auch sehr toll und eine unvergessliche Erfahrung. Die Schule ist wirklich eine der besten Spanischschulen der Welt. Sie zeichnet sich durch ihre tolle Lage am Meer, spitzen Lehrer und Offen- und Lockerheit aus. Zudem bieten sie tolle Zusatzangebote und begegnen dir immer sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Der Unterricht erfolgte in Kleingruppen und war sehr abwechslungsreich, spannend und redelastig. Toll zum Spanisch lernen und üben. Die Schule bietet tolle Sachen um schnell Kontakte knüpfen zu können zB Willkommensessen, Yoga, Salsa, BBQ Night uvw.Auch Lehrer und Freiwilligenarbeiter der Schule sind bei diesen Events öfters dabei. Leider werden aber jedoch nur wenige Ausflüge angeboten, um die Umgebung näher kennen zu lernen bzw. andere Städte usw. Ich würde gerne in Kontakt bleiben, für evtl. weitere Reisen.

Top tips

« Während den Aufenthalt sollte man nie vergessen, die Zeit in vollem Ausmaß zu nutzen. Das heißt herumreisen, essen, tanzen, Party machen, Strandspaziergang uvw. Nur so kann man das Land und das Programm am besten auskosten und viele neue lehrreiche Erlebnisse sammeln. Man braucht keine Angst vor der Sprache haben, nur durch Probieren lernt man am Besten. »

Host family
Staying with a host family is undoubtedly the best way of immersing yourself totally into Ecuadorian culture! You will have direct contact with this welcoming population and experience the Ecuadorian tranquil lifestyle while practising Spanish in a friendly atmosphere. The school selects its host families with care in order to offer you an unforgettable experience in a family involved in the community of Montañita. You will receive half board accommodation and stay in a single room.
Please note that most of the host families live in the little village of Montañitaand often come from a modest background. As a consequence, the level of comfort is inferior to western standards and the facilities are often basic. But there is no doubt that the generosity of the inhabitants of this sunny town will make these worldly considerations secondary!

Bungalow
In your thatched-roofed cabaña, entirely made with sustainable materials, you will live like a real Ecuadorian! Located in a quiet area, outside the city, these spacious bungalows will offer you comfort and well-being only 5 minutes from the school, the town centre and the beach. Well-ventilated and equipped with a private bathroom, a comfortable bed and a hammock, cabañas can host one or two students travelling together. You will meet the inhabitants of the other bungalows in the large common area with kitchen to prepare meals and refreshing drinks. Then, just lie down by the pool to take the sun! A pure moment of relaxation...

The school also has a few bungalows with private kitchenettes, which are particularly suitable for people travelling as a couple.

On the heavenly beaches of Montañita, watersports are a must! If you are a beginner, it is an opportunity to have a go at surfing or scuba diving. You should also take advantage of your language trip to Ecuador to explore the famous Galapagos Islands! The school organises many cruises to go there at a very attractive price. In 3, 4 or 8 days, you will visit the archipelago and discover the treasures of its fauna and flora with volcanoes in the background. The view is simply spectacular! A few kilometres away from Montañita, the craggy rocks of the beautiful Isla Del Plata, generally called “the poor man’s Galapagos”, also offer an exceptional natural diversity. And if you are interested in history, you can also visit the little town of Agua Blanca to admire Pre-Colombian vestiges. Be ready for an amazing adventure in a country stretching out between volcanic islands and the Pacific Ocean...
