Horizonte Maravilloso Spanish School Ecuador

Welcome to
Horizonte Maravilloso – Escuela de Español

We are very happy to welcome you to the website of our Spanish school.

Our school is located in the beautiful town of Otavalo, a small cozy place in the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes. About forty thousand people live in Otavalo, which is at an altitude of 2,550 meters. The climate is very stable and springlike throughout the whole year.

“Horizonte Maravilloso”, in English “beautiful horizon”, stands for:

visiting a very diverse country with beautiful landscapes and horizons
learning a beautiful language and enhancing your personal language skills (horizon)

The blue color of our logo symbolizes “La Costa”, the Pacific coast of Ecuador. The orange color “La Sierra”, as the Andean highlands are called. The green color represents “El Oriente”, the Amazonian lowlands. And the sun is representative of the joie de vivre of the Ecuadorians.

We hope you enjoy our website and hope that you receive sufficient information about our Spanish school. If you have any further questions, please contact us via email or Facebook.

We would be very pleased to welcome you here in Otavalo.
