<p style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small">Our main offices are located in <strong>Quito</strong>, the capital of Ecuador, the second highest capital in the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: small">Few cities are blessed with a location that surpasses Quito&#8217;s setting: in the hollow of the passive Pichincha volcano.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #ffffff">.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: small">Full of colonial flavor, Quito was an Inca city refunded by the Spaniards in 1534. From the cobblestone streets in Quito Old Town, to the modern cosmopolitan new town, any traveler visiting Quito will get amazed by the city&#8217;s architectural contrast, enhanced by a charm weather and friendly atmosphere.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 14px">
<p style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 14px">
<p style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: small">We also have branches offices in <strong>Guayaguil, Baños  and The Jungle (El Oriente)</strong>, so you can enjoy of three very different and magical regions between them without leaving your studies. You enjoy the whole world in this friendly country.</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: small"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-321" style="margin: 10px;float: left" src="http://southamerican.edu.ec/files/2009/02/800px-malecon_del_salado.jpg" alt="800px-malecon_del_salado" width="427" height="320" />Constant movement in a colorful big city, that catches you by its febrile rhythm and its seductive nights. </span><span style="font-size: small">Warm, humid, attractive and cosmopolitan coastline. That is <strong>Guayaquil</strong>, the city spoiled by the Pacific Ocean and the Guayas river, a giant and dark torrent in which globetrotters ships and swaying canoes sail, that seem extracted of the time of myths and legends. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: small"><strong>Baños</strong> is located in the middle of a mountainous region. <strong>Baños</strong> is also known as the &#8220;Door to El Dorado&#8221; and offers a variety of attractions: you can relax in the thermal baths, visit the Basilica of the &#8220;Reina del Rosario de Agua Santa&#8221;, visit the different waterfalls, go up Tungurahua volcano, sample the melcoches (sweets made from sugar cane molasses), and admire the variety of crafts made from balsa and tagua wood.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-319" src="http://southamerican.edu.ec/files/2009/08/whatodo5b1.jpg" alt="whatodo5b1" width="150" height="236" /><strong>Baños</strong>, due to its central location in the country, its mild climate and its tourist attractions, is the ideal place to relax in a quiet atmosphere, as well as to go on excursions and trips to neighboring attractions.
<p><em><strong>Among the main Thermal Baths we can mention the following:</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>The Virgin&#8217;s Pools </strong><br />
These are located in the eastern central part of <strong>Baños</strong>, below the Virgin&#8217;s Waterfall.</p>
<p><strong>Agua Santa. </strong><br />
Its thermal waters are of volcanic origin.</p>
<p><strong>The &#8220;El Salado&#8221; pools</strong><br />
These are somewhat out of the city center (15 minutes on foot, or you can take the city bus to &#8220;El Salado&#8221;). The thermal waters here are of volcanic origin.</p>
<p><strong>The Modernas Pools</strong><br />
These are near the Virgin&#8217;s Pools, on Martinez Street. The waters are of volcanic origin.</p>
<p><strong>The Agua de la Vida (Water of Life) Pools</strong><br />
There are several pools of warm water here.</p>
<p><strong>The Santa Clara Pools </strong><br />
These are warm water pools that are at the end of Santa Clara Street. Most of the hotels have heated pools.</p>
<p><em><strong>Among the most impressive and popular waterfalls we can mention:</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>The Virgin of the Holy Water Waterfall</strong><br />
It is in full view in the city of <strong>Baños</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The Ines Maria Waterfall (Pastaza River)</strong><br />
This lies about 1 km from the center of town, across the San Martin Bridge and near the Zoo, on the way to Lligua.</p>
<p><strong>The Agoyan Waterfall </strong><br />
This is an impressive waterfall 5 km from <strong>Baños</strong> (Pastaza River), but due to the use of the river water to generate hydro-electric power, it sometimes goes dry. It can be visited by urban bus.</p>
<p><strong>The Manto de la Novia (Bridal Veil) Waterfall</strong><br />
This is 12 km from <strong>Baños</strong>, before getting to Rio Verde. There is an impressive bridge over the river. You can get there by bicycle or bus.</p>
<p><strong>The Rio Verde Waterfall, or Pailon del Diablo</strong><br />
This is located 20 km from <strong>Baños</strong>. Here the Rio Verde forms an impressive waterfall among the rocks.</p>

<p style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: small">Ecuador is a land of contrasts you will never forget: four climate regions, two hemispheres, one small country. Picturesque beaches along the Pacific Coasts, majestic Andean highlands and snow-capped peaks, the mysterious and exotic Amazon jungle, and finally a group of enchanted islands (The Galapagos), all at the reach of your hand in a small country of friendly people who proudly say:  &#8220;ECUADOR HAS MORE!&#8221;, more to give and more for you to discover.</span></p>
