8th Grade Ecuador Trip – Spring Break 2020
March 20-29, 2020

Embark on an Ecuadorian journey! D-E Students currently in Grade 8 will explore the volcanic landscapes of the Andes to see for themselves how our planet was shaped geologically, and travel through diverse ecosystems that inspire careful observation of the natural world.

  • Students will visit the Andean sierra, a 400-year old hacienda, Cotopaxi Volcano National Park, the tropical cloud forest, and colonial Quito.
  • We will immerse ourselves in the local indigenous culture, experiencing and learning about the convergence of pre-Columbian, Spanish, and Moorish influences that have shaped the art and architecture of the Andes.
  • Ecuador is a country rich with history and remarkable for its indigenous people, culture, and traditions. Students will be travelers, not tourists, in environments far different from home.

Cost: $4,500

Registration deadline is November 1, 2019
