I have been looking for a place in Cuenca that will sharpen regular drill bits and have so far been coming up empty handed, even after asking a few of our carpenters. Can anyone recommend a place for me?

From the Andes Mountains to the Warm Yunguilla Valley
Date: Sunday, October 11, 2026
Our Yunguilla Valley mountain bike tour takes you on an exciting descent from the highlands of Portete de Tarqui, where the journey begins through an alternate dirt road surrounded by Andean mountains, fresh air, and spectacular scenery. As we descend, the landscape gradually transforms; the old road “Camino Viejo” winds through green ranches, native vegetation and rural communities.
With every kilometer, the temperature rises and the vegetation changes, creating a unique journey through Ecuador's diverse Andean ecosystems...

Storytelling is a time-honored tradition. Long before books, screens, or written language, people gathered to share experiences and make sense of the world through stories.
StoryJam is part of that ongoing tradition!
This month, we will explore the topic of “Mentors” — the people who guide us, challenge us, teach us, inspire us, or simply show up at the right moment...

Siluetas Urbana is a guided afternoon of drawing outdoors, exploring three different locations in Cuenca as the light changes from afternoon to golden hour.
Artist, Cristian León will lead the experience, introducing different drawing and painting techniques through short 5–10 minute demonstrations at each location. He’ll bring materials to experiment with, including pencil, sepia and sanguine, watercolor, acrylic, and oil monotype — a technique that involves painting on glass and transferring the image onto cardboard to create a unique print. You’re welcome to experiment with Cristian’s materials or work with your own...

You know how to introduce yourself. You’ve picked up some basic words and phrases. Maybe you can put together a simple sentence or two. But when you want to say much more than that, things get tricky.
Let’s Get Talking gives you more words and expressions to work with—and more opportunities to start putting them together in everyday conversations...

What can a piece of clay tell us about Ecuador? ... Much more than we might imagine.
Our next Cultura Viva Spanish course, Raíces de Barro, invites Intermediate+ learners to discover Ecuador through one of its oldest and most enduring forms of expression: ceramics.
We’ll travel through Ecuadorian history and culture by looking at ceramics created by different cultures and regions of the country—from Valdivia, Chorrera, Jama-Coaque and La Tolita to traditions that continue today...

You may know more Spanish than you think. The challenge is making all those pieces come together.
Spanish in Action helps you connect what you already know and understand how the pieces fit together. Our upcoming class gives you the opportunity to strengthen what you know, fill in gaps, and start making those connections.
Through grammar, conversation, guided practice, and real-life situations, you’ll work with everyday topics including past experiences, future plans, travel, food, work, housing, health, shopping, and leisure while developing your speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.
