What you can expect

  • We'll start our excursion on the way to the village of Pargua, south of Puerto Varas, where we'll board a ferry to sail through the Chacao Channel, which separates the mainland from Chiloé Island. During the crossing, we'll be able to see sea lions, pelicans, and seabirds 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 Church of San Antonio de Chacao. We will then continue our tour 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 waterfront, which the writer Francisco Coloane dubbed the town 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 city located opposite Quinchao Island), which has a food and craft market on its waterfront with a spectacular view.

    We'll visit the market and walk to the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, a typical Chiloé building and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We'll then continue our journey to the city of Castro, the capital of Chiloé Island, stopping to take photos at the Palafitos (houses with pillars built over the water). We'll also visit the Church of San Francisco in front of the city square and its Crafts Market.
