Did you know that more than half of the territory in Aysen are declared protected areas?!
Aysén is the second to last most Southern region in the country of Chile. It is located within the geographical region of Patagonia and is the least populated region in Chile. It was not officially settled until the 20th century because of the rugged landscape and harsh climate – but it’s a climate providing for some of the most incredible landscapes one can imagine.
Some of the most beautiful sites in Chile are featured here, including National Park and World Biosphere Reserve Laguna San Rafael, the marble caves of Lake General Carrera and the Patagonian ice caps, the 3rd largest continuous ice fields after Antarctica and Greenland.
The regional capital of Coyhaique was only recently founded in 1929, and the town of Villa Cerro Castillo, home of Senderos Patagonia, in the year 1966. Until the late 1980s, the region was extremely difficult to navigate, with most passages only rustic trail systems and only small roads in the main cities of Coyhaique and Puerto Aisen.
The Southern Highway (“Carretera Austral”), or Route 7, drastically improved the life of residents with a graveled road of approximately 1,200 kms. north and south through the region. To this day, it is still being paved, with the section south of Villa Cerro Castillo practically all gravel road!
