Explore Puerto Sánchez: Tours & Unique Activities

Puerto Sánchez is a charming village nestled on the shores of Lake General Carrera in Southern Chile. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and crystal-clear waters, it’s a peaceful retreat for nature lovers. The unspoiled scenery and laid-back atmosphere make it a great stop for those exploring the Aysén region and the famous Chilean Patagonia.

A brief look at its story

Originally a mining hub, the village emerged in the 1950s with the boom of regional mineral industries. Nowadays, life here moves at a slower pace, shaped by fishing, tourism, and the natural beauty that draws visitors each year.

When to visit

The period from November to March sees the best weather, with milder temperatures and longer daylight hours. This is ideal for outdoor activities like boating, fishing, or hiking in the nearby valleys and forests. Winter brings colder and wetter days, but you might find a more authentic local experience with fewer visitors.

Is it easy to get there?

Access can be challenging, as Puerto Sánchez is only reachable by gravel roads or by boat. The journey is part of the adventure and unveils spectacular Patagonian landscapes along the way.
