    Puerto Cisnes, Chile, is a coastal city that invites you to discover the beauty and diversity of the northern part of the Aysén Region. It is the largest urban center and the second-largest port in the region, with about 7,000 inhabitants. Here are some reasons why Puerto Cisnes is an ideal destination for luxury travelers who are looking for a relaxing and adventurous getaway.

    The town has a rich history and culture, dating back to 1872 when it was named by the explorer Enrique Simpson after the hundreds of swans (aka cisnes in Spanish) that flew over the river. The city was officially founded in 1954 as Puerto Graciela, in honor of the wife of President Ibáñez, but later changed its name back to Puerto Cisnes. You can learn more about the city’s past and present by visiting its museums, churches, and monuments.

    Puerto Cisnes is located in a small bay of the Puyuhuapi Channel, next to the mouth of the Cisnes River and facing the Isla Magdalena National Park. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, such as penguins, sea lions, dolphins, and whales. You can enjoy the stunning views of the park and the channel from the comfort of your hotel, or take a boat tour to get closer to the animals.
    The town is also a gateway to explore the vast and diverse territory of the Cisnes Commune, which includes several islands and fishing villages, such as Puerto Gala and Puerto Gaviota. You can experience the local lifestyle and cuisine of the islanders, as well as their traditions and folklore. You can also visit the Queulat National Park, which straddles the border with Lago Verde, and admire the impressive Melimoyu Volcano and the Ventisquero Colgante Glacier.
