Cochrane

Built beside the Cochrane River in Chilean Patagonia, Cochrane grew into the administrative centre of Capitán Prat Province. The town lies close to the river’s meeting with the Baker, a powerful watercourse fed by Andean lakes and glaciers. Cochrane is a practical stop on the Carretera Austral, the long road linking widely spaced communities across Aysén. Nearby, the Tamango sector of Patagonia National Park protects habitat for the endangered huemul, Chile’s native deer. Local life still reflects the livestock-ranching traditions of this sparsely populated southern region.
