Port Aguirre, Fishing port in Aysén Region, Chile.

Puerto Aguirre sits on Las Huichas Island between the Aysén Fjord and Puyuhuapi Channel, surrounded by the waters of Northern Patagonia.

The settlement started in 1940 as a temporary logging camp and received its name in honor of President Pedro Aguirre Cerda in 1942.

The local population of 539 residents maintains strong connections to Chilote maritime traditions, engaging primarily in fishing and aquaculture activities.

Travelers must bring Chilean pesos and necessary supplies from larger cities, as the village has limited commercial facilities and card payment options.

The village serves as a departure point for six-day cruises through the Northern Chilean fjords, with stops at remote communities and natural hot springs.
