Located in the Los Lagos Region, the Chiloé Archipelago is a magical land marked by a unique cultural identity.
Its most iconic attractions are its 16 wooden churches, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the iconic stilt houses in Castro.
The destination captivates visitors with its rich mythology, the culinary tradition of “curanto al hoyo,” and its crafts made from wool and plant fibers.
Its natural beauty shines in Chiloé National Park and Tantauco Park, biodiversity hotspots with trails winding through the Valdivian rainforest and along pristine coastlines.
Additionally, the Puñihuil Penguin Colonies offer the chance to spot both Humboldt and Magellanic penguins at the same time.
Chiloé is a must-see, mystical, and culturally rich stop on international itineraries.
Castro, Dalcahue and Achao reveal some of the most authentic expressions of Chiloé. In Castro, colourful palafitos rise above the water and the iconic wooden church stands at the heart of the city; Dalcahue brings together traditional crafts, local flavours and the rhythm of island life; while Achao, on Quinchao Island, preserves one of the archipelago’s finest examples of wooden architecture. Together, these villages offer an intimate journey into the culture, heritage and everyday life that give Chiloé its unmistakable character.
Along the island’s western coast, Chiloé National Park reveals one of the archipelago’s most captivating expressions of nature. Evergreen forests, sweeping dunes, wetlands and endless Pacific beaches unfold across a landscape of quiet, elemental beauty. Its trails lead deep into this remarkable ecosystem, offering an intimate encounter with a more remote and untouched side of Chiloé, where the land and sea remain profoundly connected.
Perched above the rugged western coast of Chiloé, Muelle de las Almas looks out towards the Pacific in one of the archipelago’s most evocative landscapes. A scenic trail winds through open fields and meadows before reaching this dramatic viewpoint above the ocean. Steeped in ancient Chilotan legends, the place brings together untamed scenery, profound silence and local tradition in an experience deeply connected to the soul of the island.
Along the rugged northwestern coast of Chiloé, Puñihuil combines the untamed beauty of the Pacific with one of the archipelago’s most distinctive wildlife encounters. From its secluded coves, travellers can sail towards the islets inhabited by colonies of Humboldt and Magellanic penguins, bringing together ocean, dramatic scenery and wildlife in an extraordinary natural setting. Here, nature unfolds without artifice, following the timeless rhythm of the tides and the sea.
