| summary= '''Puerto Eden''' is a small fishing village on [[wikipedia:Wellington_Island|Wellington Island]], in the Patagonian Channels.
 +
The country in the vicinity of Puerto Eden was home of the '''Kawésqar''' people... the northern group of the ''Alacaluf'' ( the Kawésqar called the Alaculuf to the south ''Tawóksers'' ). They lived in small scattered groups throughout the area until the 1930's at which time a seaplane base was established in the area to service the float-planes flying the mails between  Puerto Montt and Punta Arenas. This led to the people coming in and setting up camp in the vicinity of the base. In 1969  the community of Puerto Eden was established to bring health care and education to the peoples of the region. At one time the town had a population of some 300 but is now below 200 and only 7 Kawésqar remain.

As Puerto Eden is invariably a named port on any ''Zarpe'' issued for a voyage through the channels it is a required stop when on passage in either direction. Dependant on the attitude of that year's Capitán de Puerto you either attend the conspic. blue roofed Armada building to the west of the town or they will come to you in the town anchorage. Anchor in the middle of the bay or, if invited, tie alongside the Carabineros jetty.
