Famous for the biological diversity of the Amazons tributaries and the Galapagos Islands – not to mention remains of Inca and pre-Inca fortresses that dot hill tops across the Sierra -- Ecuador holds some of the most amazing natural and historical wonders of the Americas. Quito, the capital city of Ecuador, is home to a northern modern section and Old Quito in the south. Universidad San Francisco de Quito campus facilities include the largest Internet network in the country, the most modern food services department in South America, and 8,000 square meters of science laboratories. It is also home to 702 students from 42 countries worldwide studying photography, broadcasting, graphic design, and many more subjects. Students with advanced Spanish skills can enroll in courses with nationals, though English courses are also available. |
