A submarine of the Chilean Navy is totally open for guided visits. It is a must for those who visit Valdívia! We have a chance to see what life was like underwater, for those whose service was in this vessel. It was used for controlling fisheries, in spite of being fitted out for naval warfare. Visitors can see the cots sailor's shared for sleeping, the bathrooms and showers (used only very sparingly, the motor sectors both diesel and electric, dining rooms, captain's cabin fore and aft sectors and navigation facilities. Questions were stimulated and answered with good humor and in an objective way. It was a nice period of time!
