Oyster offers selected English teaching placements in Coyhaique and its surrounding area. Coyhaique is the self-styled capital of Patagonia and lies 2000 kms to the south of Santiago. It is a small, friendly town surrounded by mountains.

Patagonia has enchanted many authors and travellers with its magnificent mixture of Norwegian fjords, Scottish hills and English meadows. There are opportunities for trekking, mountain biking, kayaking and horse riding.
