Routes to/from

Puerto Aguirre is on the main track to and from the south of Patagonia.

Check-in facilities

Contact 'Puerto Aguirre Radio' on Ch 16 1 hour before your ETA. If you require a new Zarpe you should attend the Capitánia which is situated at the foot of the town wharf.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

Nil

Anchorages

While it is possible to secure to the town wharf for short periods a better option is Caleta La Poza a short distance to the north. Here it is possible to either lie at anchor or you may choose to anchor and run shore lines.

Tourism & things to do ashore

• The town has limited attractions and is not high on my list of 'must return' ports.
• There is an airfield on the island and the ferry 'Don Baldo' calls at the port several times a week and links it with Chacabuco and Isla Grande de Chiloe.

Stores

There are a number of small supermercados in the town. There is a post office together with a few bars and small restaurants. Diesel can be purchased from an outlet next to the Capitania. However fuel purchased there in June 2012 was dearer than in Pto Eden and the dirtiest diesel I had bought in my 10 years in Patagonia.
