 Academia
Latinoamericana is situated in a lovely residential area of Quito,
known as "El Batan."
It is conveniently located to 6 bus lines within a four block
distance of the school. Buses cost anywhere from 25 to 35 cents
and taxis around 1 or 2 US$ for a typical fare. Quito is the capital
of  Ecuador
and thus offers the best travel connections to anywhere within
the country. A half hour flight to the East will take you to the
Amazon Basin.
A two and a half hour flight will take you to
the Galapagos Islands, the site of Darwin's inspiration. Less
than two hours to the north is Otavalo, South America's largest
and most famous Indian Market. Follow the Panamerican Highway
to the south, the former Royal Road of the Incas, and you will
come to Cotopaxi National Park, site of the world's highest active
volcano.
