Coyhaique's Plaza de Armas is unusual: a pentagon, with streets running out from its five corners. It's the social heart of the regional capital, with benches, gardens and the cathedral facing it. The pedestrian Paseo Horn, with the craft market, cafés and restaurants, starts just off the square.
Getting there from the port
Taxi, van or tour along Route 240 via Puerto Aysén, about 80 minutes each way.
