“Amauta Spanish School has been a trusted partner to Lewis & Clark College for decades. Amauta runs the study abroad program and manages every aspect of the academic and personal experience for our students…this includes language instruction, homestay assignments, field trips, and experiential learning. All of this is handled exceptionally well in every detail, year in and year out. We feel extremely fortunate to have such an excellent partner in Amauta Spanish School.”

“Amauta provided consistently excellent instruction in Spanish as well as superior homestay experiences. Amauta’s staff also arranged excursions to various parts of Ecuador for our students, including outstanding guide service and logistical support. I give Amauta my unqualified endorsement as a first-rate educational institution dedicated to providing exceptional language and cultural experiences for university students.”

“I have worked with many language schools in Central and South America, and Amauta is the very best. The teachers are fantastic, the administration is extremely attentive, the host families are caring, and the city of Cuenca is one of a kind. Amauta is the real deal!”
