Chiloé - Chile

Prepare your bags for an awesome trip to Chiloé, with BitBook.net!

If you like to disconnect from the world, this is your type of trip. Remember that it is not a destination for those looking for luxury, but it is certainly for those looking for one of the best destinations in Chile.

Chiloé is an archipelago made up of around 40 islands, off the south coast of Chile. For comparison, the region is 1200 km south of Santiago and 1250 km from Valle Nevado, 1100 km north of Chilean Patagonia, 520 km west of Bariloche and 200 km from Puerto Montt.

The main towns (also called communes) are Ancud, Chonchi and Castro, from where many boat trips to the other smaller islands depart.

Knowing when to go to Chiloé you can avoid periods of rain and very cold weather, which can interfere with some walks.

Therefore, the best time to visit the archipelago is summer, from December to March. During the season temperatures reach 24°C.

Temperatures in the region rarely reach levels below -1 °C during winter.

What's more, it's during the hottest season of the year that Chiloé's wildlife shows up: penguins and blue whales come out to say “hi!”.

Try to avoid the months between May and August as much as possible, which tend to be very rainy.

80 km from Puerto Montt, Chiloé is an island off the coast of Chile, where everything is different, unusual and full of ancient legends. Despite having already fallen in love with travelers looking for new destinations, the archipelago maintains a rustic style and preserved nature that enchants even those who prefer to visit big cities.

The region is full of programs and tours of pure contact with nature, but its past, traditions and myths that surround the conversations of the residents also deserve your attention.

The closest airport to the archipelago is Puerto Montt, but there are some alternatives. There are no direct flights from Brazil to Chiloé. Therefore, the most convenient route is through Puerto Montt.

You can fly from Santiago to Puerto Montt and take a ferry, passing through the Chacao Channel, to the islands, or include them in your itinerary through the Chilean lakes.

Finally, a small airport was installed in the small town of Castro and some internal flights from Chile go there, eliminating the need for a ferry to reach Chiloé.

Those who want to explore the region more freely can choose to rent a car in Puerto Montt. This way you can explore several of the islands and do the tours at your own pace.

Did you know that some of the churches in Chiloé are on the official list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites?

This is a nice form of international recognition of the importance and historical, cultural and architectural value of the churches built by the Chilote people.

The official circuit has 16 listed churches, nine of which are on the east coast of Castro, three in Lemuy, two in Quinchao, one in Caguach and one in Chelín.

The archipelago's tradition of churches goes beyond the route. There are about 70 different constructions spread across the islands, all made of wood and from the time of the Jesuit colonizations.

The internal visitation of the churches is released and free of charge.

The little houses in the Castro region are colorful, leaving a contrast with the green hills in the background, very nice to see.

After a strong earthquake that hit the region, some of these structures were unfortunately more fragile. However, many remain standing and it is worth checking out the panorama of the region and taking great pictures.

The garden of Fuerte San Antonio and the Museo Regional de Ancud (or Museo Azul de las Islas de Chiloé) are two important stops for those who want to know a little more about the past of Chiloé and the history of its colonizers.

Since 2011, the museum has also been home to the Chiloé Heritage Center, dedicated exclusively to the preservation and maintenance of the entire museum collection, as a way of safeguarding the works and history of the entire archipelago.

The Garden of Fuerte San Antonio is located in the highest part of Ancud and has one of the best views of the sea.

The Chiloé Fort was built in the 18th century, a legacy from the Spanish colonization of the region. Currently, it is one of the main tourist attractions in the region and its garden yields great photos.
