Aysén Region Essentials

Aysén encompasses the Northern Patagonian Ice Field and includes the turquoise waters of General Carrera Lake, Chile's largest lake. The region features the Hanging Glacier of Queulat National Park and the San Rafael Glacier, a major outlet glacier accessible by boat. Geological formations like the Marble Caves near Puerto Río Tranquilo and the sharp peaks of Cerro Castillo define the landscape. The area is connected by the Carretera Austral, providing access to remote glacial valleys and deep fjords.
