What to do and see in Coyhaique, Aisen Region: The Best Tours

May 29, 2021 Toi Mattera

Coyhaique (Spanish pronunciation: [koˈʝai̯.ke]), also spelled Coihaique in Patagonia, is the capital city of both the Coyhaique Province and the Aysén Region of Chile. Founded by settlers in 1929, it is a young city. Until the twentieth century, Chile showed little interest in exploiting the remote Aisén region. The Carretera Austral road opened in the 1980s.

We had a very disappointing tour with the tour company Top Private Tours, in Puerto Chacabuco. Our concerns with this tour included: a lack of appropriate training for guides, a lack of quality control by the company, and not honouring what was advertised. I am uncertain if this company sub contracts their tours, but when Viator reached out to the company on our behalf, they were communicating with ‘Indoor Uruguay’. The guide we received was not trained and had never done a tour before. Although very nice, she did not provide information regarding the sites other than the names of whatever we stopped at. The tour guide depended on her phone to determine the answers to some of our questions. The tour guide and driver talked to each other, in Spanish, instead of to their 6 passengers. Our advertised 3.5 hour tour, was 2.5 hours and we paid over $800.00 for the 6 of us. A snack was also advertised and not received, although we were later compensated for this. Of significant concern was the fact that the company did not accept responsibility for a less than satisfactory tour. Although the countryside is beautiful, I am unable to recommend this tour with this company.

Patagonia trip planner were awesome! My friends and I were on a traveling/climbing holiday but spoke little Spanish and finding topos and climbing destinations was proving hard. We got in touch with them to get a trip to lagoona San Rafael. They took care of everything including accommodation, transport from coyhaique and gave us recommendations on places to eat. After chatting with our guide and telling him the difficulties we were having finding topos in the area. He was delighted to show us several top crags in Cerro Castillo, back in coyhaique they even organized climbing on Cerro Mackay!!! Awesome 5 days. Brilliant service nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend. Thank you guys!!!

We had a pleasure of Waldo being our tour guide driving and showing us around Valparaiso. We had 2 children that are still young, so flexibility of the schedule is a must and Waldo is very flexible and intuitive of our needs. He even prepared desserts, drinks, fruits, you name it, he brought them with him so we have a pleasant day through out the day, as most of the restaurants is still closed during Phase 2. He even brought our bags along and carried them securely,to prevent robbery. Thank you Waldo for being very patient with us and waited until we had great photo for our Instagrams. We really recommend him!
