Fuel and everyday supplies reach Chile's remote Aysén region through Puerto Chacabuco, while live cattle and farm produce travel the opposite direction — this small river port (UN/LOCODE CLPCH) is the region's principal seaport. The ferry operator Navimag links Chacabuco with Puerto Montt to the north, carrying passengers, vehicles and freight on the same crossing. Nearby fish and shellfish plants process the region's catch and salmon farming output, making the port an important outlet for Chilean aquaculture exports. Road links connect the port to the nearby town of Puerto Aysén and onward inland; there is no rail connection. Chacabuco also serves as a gateway for tourism to the Laguna San Rafael glacier, drawing seasonal cruise and excursion vessels. For larger container ships, Puerto Montt and the port of Castro on Chiloé Island remain the nearest higher-capacity alternatives.
