What you can expect

Your full-day tour will leave from Puerto Varas early in the morning before taking the Panamericana Route 5 south for about 80 miles. It is at this point that you will reach the town of Pargua. Once in Pargua, you will take a ferry that will allow you to cross the Chacao Canal and reach Isla Grande de Chiloe.

From there you will go to the town of Chacao, one of the oldest villages of the island which was founded in 1567. This town has a typical square which contains a curious and picturesque building of strong color. Whilst there you can also visit the church, which is one of more than 150 churches in Chiloé.

Later you will go to Castro, the capital of Chiloé Island. You will visit the local Church of Castro (which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000), a handicrafts market, and the Mirador del Barrio Gamboa (where you can appreciate the famous “Palafitos”). You will then finish your tour visiting Dalcahue, which is famous for its craft fair on Sundays. It is here that locals bring varied handicrafts for marketing from the outer islands of the archipelagos.
