Although it's only a 30-minute ferry crossing away from mainland Chile across the Chacao Channel, verdant Isla Chiloe – the largest in the Chiloe archipelago – is another world. Sixteen wooden churches clustered around Castro on the island's east coast have UNESCO World Heritage status, and traditional palafitos (houses on stilts) dot its shores. To the west, Chiloe National Park shelters foxes, sea lions and otters and provides unspoiled terrain for horseback riding, sea kayaking and fishing.

Made entirely of wood, this striking church was designed by an Italian architect in a blend of Neo-Gothic and classic design.
This church is one of the UNESCO Chiloe churches and is really pretty. It has a bright yellow exterior and a fantastic wooden interior with a vaulted ceiling made using ship building techniques. It even takes the shape of an inverted ship's hull. Don't miss this church and as many other UNESCO churches as you can take in.

This is a must-do if in southern Chile! You are taken by boat just off shore and brought up aside the barrier islands to view two types of penguins in their natural habitat!

Great place to visit. A good location to walk around and see or buy things native to the area that are hand made or caught by the local fishermen.
