Ecuador Volunteer Programs – Itinerary

Ecuador Volunteer Programs – EVC1

Choose from 2 volunteer sites on Ecuador Volunteer programs in beautiful Cuenca. Assist with teaching at a special needs school, or work in an orphanage for babies and toddlers. The special school educates the kids in academic subjects as well as many forms of art, music, media, and even baking. At the orphanage, you will give care to orphaned infants and toddlers. Fill your heart with warm memories of your experience.

The city of Cuenca is located in the highlands of Ecuador at about 2,500 metres (8,200 feet) above sea level, with an urban population of approximately 580,000 inhabitants in the larger metropolitan area. Cuenca, capital of the province of Azuay, is located in the sierra of the Andes in the Austro or southern region of Ecuador. It is approximately nine hours south of Quito and four hours east of Guayaquil.
