Clubhouses
The Lima clubhouse moved to its new home in early April 2002, after 25 years in Breña. The new clubhouse is more centrally located and close to all kinds of restaurants, hotels, internet cafés, and shops. Just like our old place in Breña, our new home is full of charm, friendliness, character, and warmth.
Founded in 1999 the Cusco clubhouse is the second youngest of our clubhouses. However, due to its close proximity to Machu Picchu, the Inca Trail and the Peruvian Amazon, it is one of the busiest. In 2002 the office moved to Choquechaca and in 2003, it expanded to provide better facilities for its members. It has an active membership in the Cuy club, organizes clothes donation trips to remote communities and has recently set up a recycling centre. There are also opportunities to refill your plastic bottles with mineral water. It is a great place to meet fellow travellers, grab a cookie, or find out which tour group to use to guide you down the Inca trail. The weekly events program is an excellent way to learn a little more about the Peruvian culture. Common events include; Peruvian Food & Drink Night, Quechua class, Film Night, Andean Medicine, Salsa class, a visit to a Peruvian textile project and much more!
Located high in the Andes Mountains and nestled in a valley created by volcanoes, the Quito clubhouse offers travelers a variety of services to experience the capital city and all of Ecuador with veteran insight. Founded in 1989, Quito clubhouse is located in the heart of the Mariscal neighborhood, a very popular area for travelers and in walking distance from many hotels and hostels. As one of the oldest SAE clubhouses, Quito’s large staff offers experienced travel advice and services unique to other travel organizations. We encourage our members to treat the clubhouse as their home away from home. Many travelers often stop by to meet other travelers, access the internet, read current postings on our bulletin board, get advice from staff, participate in weekly events, research future travels or just kick back and relax. The staff is always happy to see familiar faces and make new arrivals feel at home!
Come and visit our information resource centre and travelers hub in San Telmo. After exploring the cobbled streets lined with vintage and antique shops, call in and use our resources, ask for advice or have a cup of specialty mate tea. We have information sheets and recommendations for the city of Buenos Aires, as well as practical advice about visas, day trips and traveling with children. We can also provide helpful information about traveling throughout Argentina, Uruguay and Patagonia. Our newsletter and agenda of events have become popular with sell-out Spanish classes, monthly drinks nights and lots more.
