Puerto Fuy, Lakeside village in Panguipulli, Chile.

Puerto Fuy is a small village on the western shore of Lake Pirihueico in the Los Ríos Region of Chile. It sits between dense native forest and the Mocho-Choshuenco volcanic massif, with a small working harbor used by the lake ferry.

The settlement grew in the 19th century around timber extraction and later became a transit point on the route to Argentina through the Huahum Pass. That crossing role shaped how the village developed over time.

Puerto Fuy has 391 inhabitants (1999 census) and is the western terminal of the ferry across Lake Pirihueico to Puerto Pirihueico, where the road continues to the Hua Hum Pass into Argentina. The village has a rural medical station and the Lago Azul rural school. Mobile coverage comes from Movistar, Wom and Virgin Mobile; Claro has no coverage here.

A ferry crosses Lake Pirihueico from Puerto Fuy to Puerto Pirihueico, from where travelers can continue toward Argentina via the Huahum Pass. Arriving early at the dock is a good idea, as weather on the lake can change quickly.

Puerto Fuy sits at one end of a binational route that links Chile and Argentina without retracing the same road, making it one of the few such crossings in this part of Patagonia. The combination of a lake ferry and a mountain pass gives the journey a character that road travel alone cannot offer.
