Explore Coyhaique: Tours, Activities & Excursions

Discover the natural beauty of Coyhaique, a hidden gem in the heart of Chilean Patagonia. Surrounded by dramatic mountains, lush forests, and crystal-clear rivers, this charming city is a paradise for adventure lovers and those seeking tranquility alike. From fly fishing to hiking, Coyhaique offers endless opportunities to explore breathtaking landscapes and vibrant local culture.

A Glimpse into its Past

Founded in 1929, the town began as an isolated outpost, gradually evolving into the main hub of the Aysén Region. Its name comes from the Mapuche language and means “camp between waters”, a reference to its special location between rivers and valleys. Over time, it has become a welcoming destination for visitors eager to explore remote Patagonia.

When to Visit

The best period to enjoy Coyhaique is between November and March, during the Southern Hemisphere’s summer. Days are longer, temperatures are mild, and most outdoor activities are available. However, autumn’s golden hues and winter’s snowy peaks also offer captivating views for those who don’t mind cooler weather.

Nature is at your fingertips here. Trekking in the nearby Cerro Castillo National Park, rafting on the Simpson River, or horseback riding across Patagonian valleys are just the beginning. The local markets and artisan shops showcase authentic products for you to take home a piece of Patagonia.
