Discover the unique charm this region has to offer.
Patagonian cuisine is simple, hearty, and made with love. Enjoy slow-roasted lamb cooked over an open fire or fresh trout straight from the lake. You’ll also find hot soups, homemade cakes, calafate jam, and freshly baked bread. The cold whets your appetite, and Aysén delivers with flavor and tradition.
Patagonian identity is expressed through handwoven sheep wool textiles, native woodwork, and handcrafted leather goods.

You’ll find authentic handicrafts in Coyhaique, Puerto Aysén, Villa Cerro Castillo, and along the Carretera Austral, where creativity mirrors the landscape.
