Known as the gateway to the legendary Carretera Austral in the Los Lagos Region, Hornopirén is a Patagonian enclave surrounded by pristine nature.

Dominated by the silhouette of the Hornopirén volcano, the town serves as the key departure point for boat trips through the fjords to Caleta Gonzalo. Its main attraction is Hornopirén National Park, a refuge for ancient larch trees, larch forests, and trails leading to pristine mountain lagoons.

The experience is complemented by relaxing natural hot springs, such as those at Pichicolo, and authentic seafood cuisine right on the fjord.

A strategic destination for nature tours, trekking, and high-end scenic routes in Chilean Patagonia.
