ponían

Ponían is a village in the Aysén Region of Chile's southernmost region, Patagonia. The village is situated along the Baker River, a major river in the Aysén Region, and is home to a small community of residents. Ponían is well-known for its remote and rugged terrain, as well as its rich natural beauty.

The Baker River valley offers stunning vistas and a unique opportunity for outdoor recreation, including hiking, fishing, and horseback riding. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of glaciers, mountains, and waterfalls throughout the year, and the area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including guanacos, pumas, and condors.

Ponían village itself is a small, peaceful settlement with a few scattered houses and buildings. The village has a handful of amenities, including a few basic shops and a community hall, and is primarily a place for residents and a few travelers who come to experience the natural beauty of the area. Electricity was introduced in 2005, but other infrastructure remains underdeveloped.

The village's remote location and harsh climate make it a challenging area for outsiders to reach. The closest city, Coyhaique, is several hours away, and public transportation is limited. However, the village remains a popular destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers who are drawn to the area's unspoiled natural beauty and unique culture. Despite its challenges, Ponian remains a hidden gem in Chile's Patagonia region, with a strong sense of community and a connection to the land and environment that surrounds it.
