Aysén Region Trips – Tailor-Made Patagonia Itineraries

Remote and stunningly beautiful, Aysén is the perfect stop for those seeking the best of Patagonia without the crowds.

It is located just south of the Lake District and Puerto Montt and north of Torres del Paine. With glaciers, mountains, rivers, and rainforest, you will have access to some true wilderness here. Similar to the rest of the region, the best time to visit is November to early March (summertime in the southern hemisphere). The parks will be much more crowded during the peak months of December – February, so we recommend visiting during the shoulder season months of November, early December and March for incredible weather and fewer people.
