Tortel
Chile
Caleta Tortel, the main settlement of this remote Patagonian commune in Chile's Aysén Region, sits where the Baker River — the country's largest by volume — meets the Pacific, with wooden boardwalks serving as its streets in place of roads. Flanked by the Northern and Southern Patagonian Ice Fields and surrounded by mountain terrain, the hamlet has a small but real café and restaurant scene for a place its size.
