Aysen del General Carlos Ibanez del Campo Region

Built around coastal settlements, river valleys and maritime routes, Aysén Region grew into one of Chilean Patagonia’s least densely populated regions. Its territory reaches from Pacific fjords and islands to the Andes, while the Baker River drains south from the General Carrera Lake basin. Built through the late 20th century, the Carretera Austral became the principal overland link between many remote communities, crossing forest, steppe and mountain passes. Coyhaique, the regional capital, is the main urban centre in this largely rural territory; Puerto Aysén recalls the enduring importance of maritime connections.
