Penobscot Bay Language School has been offering a variety of group travel opportunities for students of all ages. Following numerous immersion trips to Spain and France, local guide Nelson Sanchez-Oyarzo, a native of the Chilean city of Punta Arenas–the southern gateway to Patagonia–joined the PBLS travel team to launch a Patagonia group trip with the school. Last March four brave participants joined Nelson on a ten-day adventure in one of UNESCO’s most celebrated natural wonders of the world.
We hope to see you there!
