Opened in 1966 and declared a national monument in 2007, the Presidente Ibáñez bridge spans the Aysén River on the eastern side of Puerto Aysén. You can walk across it for views up and down the wide river and the mountains around the town. It's an easy add-on to a stop in Puerto Aysén or a photo stop on the way to Coyhaique.
Getting there from the port
Taxi or minibus towards Puerto Aysén; the bridge is on the eastern edge of town.
