What you can expect

  • We will begin our excursion on the way to the town of Pargua, south of Puerto Varas, where we will board a ferry to sail through the Chacao Channel, which separates the continent from Chiloé's Big Island. During the crossing, we'll be able to see sea lions, pelicans, and sea birds typical of this region.
    We will dock in the village of Chacao, where we can see typical buildings made of Alerce wood and also the San Antonio de Chacao church. We will then continue our journey along the Inland Sea route, the western route of the island, which will take us to the village of Quemchi, where we can visit its beautiful Costanera, which the writer Francisco Coloane christened the commune of 1,000 landscapes.

    Later, we'll go to a wonderful place: Aucar, the Island of the Navigating Souls, which we can enter via a 430-meter wooden bridge. We will then head towards Dalcahue (a town located opposite Quinchao Island), which has a food and craft market on its waterfront with a spectacular view.

    We will visit the market and walk to the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, a typical Chilote construction that is a World Heritage Site. Later, we'll continue our trip to the city of Castro, the capital of Chiloé Island. We'll stop to take pictures at the Palafitos (dwellings with pillars arranged over the water), and we'll visit the San Francisco Church in front of the city square and its Craft Market.
