Where to buy in Chiloé: a guide by area.
Chiloé is bigger than it looks on the map. Choosing the area first sorts out everything else: how much you'll drive, which services are nearby and what landscape you see every day.
01/ 07
Castro and surroundings
The island's capital, with a hospital, shops and Mocopulli airport nearby. Nercón, Llau-Llao and Rilán are minutes from town and face the inner sea.
02/ 07
Ancud and the north
The gateway from the mainland, across the Chacao channel. Long beaches and Puñihuil, with its penguin colony.
03/ 07
Quemchi
A quiet seaside town on the east coast, facing the northern islands of the inner sea.
04/ 07
Dalcahue and Tenaún
Inner sea, heritage churches and the Dalcahue market. The ferry to Quinchao island leaves from here.
05/ 07
The islands
Quinchao, Lemuy and the other inner-sea islands, linked by ferry. For those looking for calm.
06/ 07
Chonchi, Queilén and Quellón
The south of the inner sea: coastal towns, coves and, at the end of the road, Quellón.
07/ 07
Pacific coast
Cucao and Chiloé National Park: open beaches, lakes and forest. Far from everything, and that's the point.
