Caleta El Manzano lies on the Carretera Austral, 23 km from Hornopirén and 80 km south of Puerto Montt. In May 2015 the estuary rose and flooded the locality. In 2017 local artisanal fishermen began a climate-change adaptation pilot project run by the Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture, which led in January 2020 to the launch of a tourist route.

In 2017 artisanal fishermen from the caleta began a pilot climate-change adaptation project run by the Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture. Within that programme, a tourist route highlighting the area's cultural and natural heritage was launched in January 2020. The village's fishing work remains the base of local life.

The best way to experience this place is through a leisurely walk through the streets and conversations with local fishermen about their daily work. Sturdy footwear is important since pathways are uneven and weather can change quickly.
