Ablauf
We will begin our tour by visiting the palafitos in Pedro Montt. The palafitos are wooden houses with larch tiles that are placed on a pier with thick piles. These houses have two fronts, one towards the street and the other towards the canal, which has an upper terrace that serves as a patio and a lower one that works for fishing activities.
We will continue our tour through the Millantuy viewpoint, and then we will go to the Castro Regional Museum. Here we can learn about more than 6000 years of the history of Chiloé.
We will also visit the Castro Church, founded in 1567, and continue on our way to the Gamboa Palafitos
Finally, we will head south to get to know the Nercon Church, which is a World Heritage Site, and then we will return to our hotels.

About Castro
Castro, capital of Chiloé island in southern Chile, rises above a tidal estuary of stilt houses, with a colourful wooden church on its main square.
Castro was founded in 1567 and stands on the east coast of Chiloé, on a narrow estuary where fishing boats and palafitos, rows of brightly painted houses on stilts, lean over the tidal flats. On the Plaza de Armas, the church of San Francisco, built in 1912, is one of the wooden churches of Chiloé inscribed as a World Heritage site, with a yellow and violet exterior of corrugated metal sheets and a wooden interior.
