Why Learn Spanish in Riobamba?

There are many reasons why Riobamba is one of the best places to learn Spanish in Latin America. First of all is because its unarguably one of the most beautiful cities in Ecuador and the only surrounded by the countries highest volcanoes: Chimborazo, Carihuazo, Tungurahua, and El Altar.

Secondly is because Riobamba is much safer than dangerous big cities like Quito and Guayaquil and Spanish Students can live in the city, walk around and explore with a camera, without the fear of being robbed.

However the most important reason why Riobamba is one of the best places to learn Spanish is that the city is not overwhelmed with tens of thousands of tourists like Quito or Cuenca. This means its easy to avoid anyone who speaks English because you will be too busy practicing Spanish with the locals. Riobamba is often called the ‘City of the Students’ because it has more young people and universities per capita than anywhere else in Ecuador. This makes it a great place to go out and have fun while learning Spanish because all the pubs and bars are full of Ecuadorian university students that travel from all around the country to study in Riobamba.

For people who love playing indoor football / soccer we organize a game on an astro-turf field with local Ecuadorians every Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday night.

Testimonial from Angela and Jye from Australia
Ecuador Eco Volunteers organized for us private tuition in the bustling country town of Riobamba. The classes were great and we learned a lot very quickly! With the teacher speaking only Spanish to us, it forced us to learn how to ask the right questions to assist in accelerating our learning. Our teacher was energetic, patient, and listened to our needs in what to focus on during our brief 2 weeks there. We were even luck enough to accompany another teacher from the school to a local comminuty to help teach English for school children. Such fun! And aside from learning a lot, the courses were very affordable, and we were able to stay at the oh so comfortabel house provided by Eco Ecuador Volunteer. It was all too easy!
