Mirador a Puerto Aysén (Cerro Cordón)

One of the most spectacular viewpoints in Puerto Aysén: it offers a privileged view of the city, the Aysén fjord, and the surrounding valleys, with the river winding toward its mouth. Located south of the urban center, on the slopes of Cerro Cordón, this area also marks the start of the Sendero del Cerro Cordón trail, whose entrance is at coordinates -45.4262, -72.6938. This moderate-difficulty trail covers approximately 12 kilometers round trip (6 to 8 hours) through coihues, tepas, and nalcas, reaching heights of nearly 1,350 meters, from where Lake Riesco, Puerto Chacabuco, and the Macá volcano can be seen. A short walk is enough to reach the viewpoint; for the summit, experience, GPS, and bad-weather gear are recommended.
