FIELD STUDY TRIP TO ECUADOR^
During the summer of 1991, Langara led 22 students from moist and humid
coastal lowlands, having donned rubber boots and layer upon layer of mosquito
repellent, to high snowcapped volcanic peaks where survival depended upon mass

purchases of otavalon woollen textiles (portable oxygen tanks would have come in
handy, for the slightest exertion left one panting and gasping for air!)
Everyone of us survived it all!
After spending the month of May studying at Langara, and acquainting
ourselves with our fellow travellers we were all eager to fly south.
Spending two months exploring both the geographic & cultural diversities
of Ecuador, while earning 9 transferable credits we would all agree this term
will likely be the most memorable of our studies.
Experiencing a new culture in this format does require an open mind,
patience, hard work, sharing and a willingness to try new things.
