We had a great time at Ingles Rapido Cotopaxi. The days volunteering were fun, having conversations with the students and helping with videos and presentations at the institute. Although you weren't given much direction for your conversations it meant you could talk about whatever you or the students wanted, they gave us local recommendations and tips for travelling which was great! All the staff are lovely and helpful too. Latacunga itself is small and rather quiet, there are also lots of nearby villages to explore. It's a good place to relax and chill for a couple of weeks.

My time here has been great. The staff have been super nice and welcoming and made sure the working atmosphere was great. The kids are eager to learn and it's interesting to speak with them and learn more about their culture. Yet, it can get draining, having the same conversations over and over again. Latacunga is a relaxed town, very laid-back, so it's a great volunteering if you want some time to relax. All in all, I enjoyed my stay a lot and would recommend :)

I had an amazing experience teaching English through Worldpackers in Latacunga Ecuador. The location was great—safe, fun, and close to downtown, with the beautiful Cotopaxi volcano nearby. The people were friendly, respectful, and always helpful, making me feel truly welcome. I was able to immerse myself in the local culture, grow both personally and professionally, and connect deeply with my students, who were eager and excited to learn. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone looking for meaningful cultural exchange and a rewarding teaching experience in Latacunga Ecuador.
