What to do and see in Isla Chiloe, Los Lagos Region: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

July 16, 2021 Margarita Chappel

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.

Iglesia San Francisco

Made almost entirely of wood – with wooden arches, buttresses and columns - this church was constructed by local artisans between 1910 and 1912.

Reviewed By albertsebastian - Melbourne, Australia

A short uphill hike from the port, this church is worth the effort. All wood inside and outside, well maintained. Just on the opposite of the city's well-laid gardens. There's a small shop for souvenirs and toilers (paid).

Church of San Francisco

Made entirely of wood, this striking church was designed by an Italian architect in a blend of Neo-Gothic and classic design.

Reviewed By RichardK938 - West Palm Beach, United States

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.
