The Palafitos were built along the shore by seafaring natives because the forest was so thick. Originally inhabited by shellfish collectors, today they serve as accommodation for visitors like you.
Built from plans sent from Europe, this UNESCO World Heritage Site church on the main plaza is made of wood instead of marble or stone. Are you ready to explore the renovations that saved this church?

Overview

Explore ChiloƩ with a historian who has spent time around the wood-burning stove on long winter nights gathering stories. As you make your way along the coast, you'll hear how fiction is just as believable as fact. As with a beautiful denizen of the sea who blesses fishermen with a catch or a zombie ship out at sea leading people to the golden gates of an eternal city, you'll definitely want to dig deeper into the lore.

Once you've downloaded the tour, you can head to the first point of the tour. Don't worry if there is WiFi or not, because the audio tour works regardless with your phone's GPS signal. Just put your phone in your pocket, forget about it, and let the audio guide you. The tour gives you directions and plays at exactly the right time and place.

Take a stroll around the main part of town. The walk takes about half an hour, but you can stop at any point along the way. Discover the beautiful San Francisco church and taste local delicacies at the market at the end of the tour.
