Chiloé Island is one of Chile’s few places that has preserved its authentic cultural identity. A land of myths, legends, and traditions, it offers a fascinating journey through rural landscapes, architecture, and heritage. The day begins with a 30-minute ferry crossing of the Chacao Channel, where you might spot seabirds, sea lions, and even dolphins. Upon arrival, you’ll visit the town of Chacao, its main square, and its church, a charming reflection of local history. Next, continue to Castro, the island’s capital, where you’ll see the iconic stilt houses of Río Gamboa, the main square, and the striking San Francisco Church, along with the Church of Nercón —both recognized by UNESCO for their architectural and cultural value. Finally, travel to Dalcahue, a picturesque town known for its scenic waterfront, vibrant handicraft market, and the Church of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, another example of Chiloé’s religious and cultural heritage. This tour is a perfect blend of history, architecture, nature, and the warmth of the Chilote people —an unforgettable cultural experience in southern Chile.
