Caleta Wulaia is the more northerly of the only two cities in the world below the 55th parallel south. The other and more southerly is Puerto Toro. There is only one building in this village, and it is on the other side of Navarino Island from Puerto Toro. This hamlet is in Magallanes y la Antartica Chilena, Chile and has a very small river flowing entirely on the beach, slightly to the south of the city center. A network of small roads crisscrosses the city and connects it to Navarino Island's main highway.[1]
The village is named after a bay near it, called Bahia Wulaia. It is also surrounded by forests, despite the cold climate and snowy winters.[1]
The bay was the very first area on its island to be settled by Native Subantarcticans (the Yagan people).[2]
