On the Intern in Ecuador Program, the excursions included vary slightly based on where you are located. Some students are located in Quito while others are in different parts of Ecuador because that is where their internship is located. All interns will participate in the Orientation, which is the first Saturday of the program (the day after arrival), as well as an excursion on the following day, the first Sunday of the program.

Other excursions are occasionally done through CISabroad and you will have time to travel on your own as well to these locations.

Possible excursion destinations include:

Quilotoa, a beautiful lake inside a volcano

Mitad del Mundo, “the middle of the world,” where the equator passes through Ecuador!

Cotopaxi, one of Ecuador’s highest peaks and an active volcano!

Otavalo, a huge market located outside of Quito, famous for local goods, souvenirs, and food.
