“ANCUD & PUÑIHUIL IN CHILOÉ ISLAND” TOUR.

The Big Island of CHIOLE is the largest of the islands that make up the Chiloé archipelago, an insular group located in the Los Lagos Region, in south-central Chile. The area is characterized by its great maritime activity, by the strong religiosity —manifested in its churches and festivities—, by its handicrafts in fibers, wool and wood, by its pottery, by the buildings in stilt houses and, mainly, by the traditions cultural and mythological of its inhabitants.

CAULIN, cove dedicated to the extraction of shellfish, seaweed and oyster farming.

ANCUD, is a city on the island of Chiloé. The Regional Museum of Ancud explores the history of the area with archaeological and textile exhibits. Nearby is Fort San Antonio, built by the Spanish and with a panoramic view of the port. To the southwest of the city, is the Islotes de Puñihuil Natural Monument, which encompasses 3 islets and is home to a penguin colony. Further south is Chiloé National Park, with a rain forest and sea lions.
