The Aysén - Simpson Cultural Area is home of the largest cities in the region, Coyhaique (50,000+ persons), the capital, and Puerto Aysén (30,000+). The area reaches from the fjords in Puerto Chacabuco to the steppe of Coyhaique Alto, Balmaceda and Ñirehuao with various areas that have been heavily impacted by the fires of the twentieth century and others, where nature still dominates. Here you can join into the urban life, fish world-class rivers like the Simpson or Paloma, kayak in Elizalde or Los Palos lakes, visit condoreras in Coyhaique Alto, enjoy the arts in Coyhaique, or pedal through valleys brimming with rivers and lagoons.
