It opens into Gulf of Ancud and at its head, it receives the outflow of Reñihué Lake via the river of the same name. Its waters are navigated by a ferry serving a part of the route between Hornopirén and Caleta Gonzalo. The latter is a locality and cove located on the south shore of the fjord.

The fjord is surrounded by densely forested mountains, which, in their majority, are part of Pumalín Park.
