Introduction
Located: 73km West from La junta
Puerto Raul is a tiny fishing village and a settlement of a few houses, located about 73km due west from La Junta. The road to get here is unpaved. This is a place for a “total cut off” from society and the “real World”. This is where there is no electricity at night, where the stars are bright, the bird song fills the morning air, and the gentle lapping of water are the only sounds that interrupt the stillness.
The village sits n the edge of the edge of the 204,000 acre Tic Toc Marine Park, home to pristine beaches and numerous varieties of marine life.
On the eastern side of the village is the Pitipalena Fiord where there are often dolphins, penguins and occasionally orcas. The fiord, which is home to the Palena river, flows directly into the Pacific Ocean.
The Palena River is known for its excellent salmon and trout fishing, but also offers great kayaking and rafting. In the distance is the Corcovado National Park covering 726,000 acres.
