Coyhaique, Regional capital in Patagonia, Chile
Located at 302 meters elevation, Coyhaique stands between the Simpson and Coyhaique Rivers, surrounded by snow-covered mountains in the Aysen Region.
The city was established on October 12, 1929, as a settlement point for agricultural development, marking the beginning of organized colonization in the Aysen region.
The central plaza features a distinctive pentagonal design dedicated to the Carabineros national police force, hosting regular markets with regional products and crafts.
Travelers reach Coyhaique through Balmaceda Airport, located 34 kilometers away, or via the Carretera Austral highway connecting to major Chilean destinations.
The geographical position between mountain ridges creates temperature inversions, making Coyhaique experience specific climate patterns different from other Patagonian cities.
