Puerto Chacabuco is a Chilean town in Aisén commune. It is located at the head of Aisén Fjord and is the main port of the region. It is a port of call for ships sailing to the Laguna San Rafael National Park and the terminus of a Navimag ferry service from Puerto Montt.
Chacabuco is where the northern Patagonian ice sheets fall into the sea. It is one of the last frontiers; there are few such remote, unspoiled and underdeveloped places left on earth. Visitors can admire the pristine beauty of its untouched natural resources.
Puerto Chacabuco is a small isolated settlement with no clearly defined town center. The town itself consists of one main road, a fish processing facility and a pier. A frontier like village, about 10 miles north of the port, Puerto Aysen, is the area's main town.
