Details on arrival
Long school vacation is usually during march and april, and the teaching project is closed at this time. With this exception, you can arrive whenever you wish.
The usual starting point for cloudforestadventure volunteers arriving in Ecuador is Quito airport, and we recommend our quito contacts Chari Agea and Felix Castaneda as an important part of the orientation process for enjoying Ecuador to the full and taking care of your needs as you arrive, probably tired, at quito airport. Chari and Felix also give detailed information on the journey to Intag, and can accompany you to the bus station if you wish. They are wonderful people, and we recommend them to get your Ecuador experience off to a great start...
Detailed travel information to Intag is given by Chari and Felix on arrival in quito, and an outline is provided here for your information: 2 hour bus journey from Quito to local town of Otavalo. Optional overnight stay at this popular tourist destination, and then a 3 and one half hour journey by bus and taxi to our farm. Minimum 1 day orientation stay (maximum 1 week) at our 160 acre cloudforest farm before choosing a school and host family and beginning your work as an english teaching volunteer.
Some volunteers choose to travel by taxi from Quito or Otavalo, and we can arrange this service. However, public transport in Ecuador is inexpensive and quite reliable.
