A quick Garmin message came through from our Global Studies students in Chile: “All good here… bad weather! Made pizza on the fire, have wet feet, everyone happy.” It says everything. Stormy skies and soggy boots but still, a fire, a shared meal, and plenty of smiles. And in the end, that’s the goal: not perfect conditions, but meaningful experiences, together. Photos will come once they’re off the trail but for now, this snapshot says it all.

We’re happy to share that our Chile Global Studies group has arrived safely in Balmaceda, Chile! The group has met up with their local guides from Patagonia Frontiers and everyone is in good spirits. We’ll keep you updated throughout the trip as students immerse themselves in learning and exploration. The lengthy trek for the majority of their trip means their communication to back home will be brief check-ins and not necessarily long blog posts.
We appreciate your understanding.

Our students are heading to Chile, a country defined by dramatic landscapes and deep cultural roots, from the towering Andes to vibrant urban centers and remote communities.
But this journey is about more than geography. It’s about understanding the relationship between people and place. Students will immerse themselves in new environments, engage with local perspectives, and reflect on how culture and landscape shape one another.
Through this blog, you’ll get a front-row seat to their experience,. Following along as they navigate new challenges, build connections, and uncover stories that can only be understood by being there.
Stay tuned!
