Puyuhuapi

Puyuhuapi is a small village at the end of a fjord where the Rio Pascal meets the sea. The settlement is surrounded by mountains and forests of the Aysen region, situated along the Carretera Austral.

The village was founded in the early 1900s by German settlers from Hranice who settled alongside Mapuche communities. This settlement marked a new foothold in the Patagonian region.

The village is known for handmade sweaters and textiles created by local artisans, featuring traditional patterns from the region. This craft tradition shapes daily life and the local identity.

The village is accessible via the Carretera Austral, best reached by bus since regular services connect it to larger towns. Visitors should expect long travel times and prepare for the remote location with limited facilities.

The settlement is known for natural thermal springs that emerge from underground sources along the coastline and flow into the fjord. This geothermal feature gives the area distinctive character.
