Patagonia is a remote wilderness of isolated mountain valleys, ragged icy peaks, turbulent rivers, and island archipelagos. This is a land that demands exploration, and you will experience firsthand its dramatic landscape.
In the Aysen Region of Chile, our main base is a working farm of several hundred acres near the city of Coyhaique. We do all of the planning and logistics to make your expedition into the wilderness an educational experience that lasts a lifetime.
NOLS Patagonia, in the Aysen Region of Chile, is a working farm of several hundred acres near the city of Coyhaique. We do all of the planning and logistics to make your expedition into the wilderness an educational experience that lasts a lifetime.
NOLS is an important contributor to the outdoor community in this region as well, offering specialized courses for Chilean educators and students, teaching No Deje Rastro (Leave No Trace), outdoor skills, and leadership. The hallmarks of a NOLS Patagonia course are remoteness, fickle weather, and exploration.
Patagonia has mountains that have never been climbed and valleys populated by pobladores (subsistence ranchers). The conditions in this part of the world are extreme, but they are perfect for honing your outdoor skills and leadership competence.
