Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa

Puyuhuapi (Puyuguapi) is a village in southern Chile in the Aysén Region. It is located on Route 7, the Carretera Austral, where the Rio Pascal enters the head of the Puyuhuapi fjord, a small fjord off the Ventisquero Sound. Its harbor on the fjord is called Puerto Puyuhuapi. Puyuhuapi is administratively in the Chilean commune of Cisnes. In the 2002 census it had a population of 535, but by 2007 it had grown to 826. Just southwest of the village are the Puyuhuapi hot springs. The government invited German settlement in the village, which was founded by Sudeten German settlers from Hranice in present-day Czech Republic and Mapuches from Chiloé Archipelago. German settlers gave temporary work to the Mapuches in the area, and then they settled with their families, which gave rise to a mestizo population.

Puerto Puyuhuapi is a small village that sits on the edge of a crystal-clear lagoon and is home to a tight-knit community of locals. Despite its small size, the village is full of charm and character. You can explore the colorful houses, quaint shops and cafes, and learn about the fascinating history of the area.

One of the main attractions of Puerto Puyuhuapi is its natural beauty. The village sits in the heart of the Puyuhuapi Fjord, which is part of the Chilean Patagonia. The fjord is a labyrinth of islands, channels and inlets, surrounded by rugged mountains and dense forests. You can take a boat tour or kayak through the fjord, marveling at the stunning landscapes and spotting wildlife such as sea lions, dolphins, and even whales.
