Puerto del Hambre is on the margins of the coast of Bahía Buena, where Captain Sarmiento de Gamboa founded the city of King Don Felipe in March 1584. This attempt at Spanish colonization had a tragic end: its inhabitants perished of starvation . Years later, the English privateer Thomas Cavendish arrived at the place, and when he found only the remains of the old colony, he renamed the place ´´Port Famine´´, in Castilian Puerto del Hambre, a name that it still retains today.
