Puerto Eden Port of Entry
| |
|
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.
Puerto Eden is a small fishing village on Wellington Island, in the Patagonian Channels.

Straight forward.
Entrance
Puerto Eden is a port of entry/exit for Chile. For details see Entrance: Chile.
Contact 'Puerto Eden Radio' 1 hour before ETA. 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 a passage in either direction. Dependant on the attitude of that year's Capitán de Puerto you either attend the conspicuous blue roofed Armada building to the west of the town or they will come to you in the town anchorage.
Berthing
There is no real port but there is a now a pontoon in front of the Armada building, the Carabineros jetty. They may allow you to come along.
Otherwise, use one of the anchorages.
