Paddling near Puerto Cisnes, Aysén


Puerto Cisnes sits on the edge of the Puyuhuapi Channel in the Aysén region of Chilean Patagonia, a remote coastal town reached by the Carretera Austral or by ferry through the fjords. The surrounding waters range from the Río Cisnes flowing nearby to the sea channels and island coastlines of Parque Nacional Isla Magdalena — making sea kayaking the defining paddling discipline here. Circumnavigating Isla Magdalena by kayak and crossing the Puyuhuapi Channel are the marquee on-water experiences for paddlers visiting the area.
