Coyhaique

Coyhaique is best known in Chile for serving as the capital of the Aysén Region. The city lies in Patagonian country near the meeting of the Coyhaique and Simpson rivers, east of the Andes. Founded in 1929 during the settlement of Chilean Patagonia, it grew into the region’s principal urban and service centre. The Carretera Austral runs through Coyhaique, linking it with remote communities amid forests, mountains and glacial valleys. Coyhaique National Reserve, immediately north of town, adds accessible trails and native woodland to the setting.
