Top Things to do in Isla Chiloe
What to do and see in Isla Chiloe, Los Lagos Region: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours
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.

We took this tour last year. The guide doesn’t speak English at all, and keep repeating the same information over and over. They also don’t let you move and ask you to be next to them all the time. Amazing place but awful guide

Even Frutillar was in Fase 3, Isabel organized safe tours for my husband and me. The best part of this tour is the trekking to Las Cascadas, I think is amazing; also I loved all the stops in tiny towns around the lake (as Puerto Octay) whose people was so kind and we could buy local products.
