What to do and see in Isla Chiloe, Los Lagos Region: The Best Nature & Parks

March 12, 2022 Cedrick Jardin

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.

Bosquepiedra

Reviewed By 155paulaw

This is a wonderful place. It's a private nature reserve where the owner will give you a tour of the special forest. You must ring first to arrange a time. It costs 10,000 pesos and is worth every penny. You learn so much about the forest and its wildlife. The owner has a wealth of knowledge about the trees, geology, flora and birds. You find it at km 15 on the road down to Cucao. (20 minutes from the Hostal Palafito- also highly recommended!)

Uncrowded, good facilities, easy hiking trail, interesting historical information. This national park makes for an excellent and relaxing day trip from Castro. Bring a picnic lunch and take your time strolling along the boardwalk.

Reviewed By MarcheseMJ - Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile

Well organized, safe and clean, local fishermen turn their boats into tourist ships during summer time to go and see the penguins and some of the other local attractions. Worth every minute of the visit
