The Chiloé excursion offers a journey through some of the island’s most emblematic areas, blending wildlife, culture, and coastal landscapes. The experience begins with pickup in Puerto Varas or Puerto Montt to travel toward Pargua, where a ferry crosses the Chacao Channel, offering views of seabirds and the characteristic scenery of the archipelago. The first stop is Chacao, a small town known for its traditional architecture and local charm. Here, you visit San Antonio Church and the main square, an ideal setting to appreciate daily life in small Chilote communities. The route continues to Puñihuil, a coastal area famous for the islets that host colonies of Humboldt and Magellanic penguins. Visitors enjoy time for lunch and have the option to join a boat navigation to observe marine wildlife that inhabits the natural sanctuary. The final destination is Ancud, a historic city with strong cultural heritage. The visit includes San Antonio Fort, the main square, Virgen del Carmen Cathedral, and, depending on availability, the Regional Museum. After the visit, the return journey follows the same route back to the pickup city.
