Coyhaique is the bustling capital of Chile's Aysén Region, nestled in a valley along the Simpson River. Visitors experience a lively town square, colorful wooden architecture, and a thriving artisan scene. Its distinctive location as the last major city before the vast Patagonian wilderness makes it a perfect base for outdoor adventures. Stroll along the riverfront, sample local craft beer, or browse the regional crafts market. The nearby Cerro Mackay viewpoint offers panoramic vistas of the city and surrounding peaks.
