Reisroute
We beginnen met het ophalen in Puerto Varas, rond 08.00 uur.
We blijven tot 08:45 uur ophalen in Puerto Montt, en vervolgen de reis langs de beroemde Pan American Route naar de stad Pargua, waar we aan boord gaan van een veerboot die ons naar Chacao zal brengen.
Vanaf deze plek gaan we aan boord van een veerboot om door het Chacao-kanaal te navigeren, dat het vasteland scheidt van Isla Grande de Chiloé. Tijdens de navigatie (45 minuten) kunnen we zeeleeuwen, pelikanen en zeevogels observeren die typisch zijn voor deze regio.
We meren aan in de stad Chacao, een van de oudste op het eiland, gesticht in 1567. Het heeft een Plaza de Armas waar we typische larikshoutconstructies kunnen waarderen en ook de kerk van San Antonio de Chacao kunnen zien.
Aankomst in Quemchi, waar we de prachtige Costanera kunnen bezoeken, die de schrijver Francisco Coloane doopte tot de gemeente van 1000 landschappen. Straks gaan we naar een prachtige plek; Aucar, het eiland van navigerende zielen dat we kunnen betreden via een 430 meter lange houten brug.
Later gaan we richting Dalcahue (een stad gelegen tegenover Isla de Quinchao) en dat aan de waterkant heeft een gastronomische en ambachtelijke markt met een spectaculair uitzicht. We bezoeken de beurs en lopen naar de Nuestra Señora De Los Dolores-kerk, een typische Chilote-constructie die deel uitmaakt van het werelderfgoed.
Later vervolgen we onze reis naar de stad Castro, de hoofdstad van Isla Grande de Chiloé; we maken een stop om foto's te maken in de Palafitos (huizen waar de pilaren op het water zijn gerangschikt), we bezoeken de San Francisco-kerk voor het stadsplein en de ambachtelijke markt.
In de middag, na dit ongelooflijke bezoek, keren we om ongeveer 18:00 uur terug naar Puerto Varas.

A very good overview of land and people, Chiloe and nature. A cautious bus driver and an enthusiastic guide whose English was sometimes difficult to understand.

We're also pleased that you felt comfortable with the driver's careful service. We appreciate your comments regarding the guide's English and will take them into consideration as we continue working to improve our guests' experience. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
It is a very beautiful tour, with beautiful landscapes the guide Mauricio was excellent. I loved to know the UNESCO heritage wooden churches. Only I do not give maximum score because I felt deceived by Viator. They told me the value of 2 people to ensure the tour and when I did the tour there were more people.... When I reported I was given an indication for me to contact the operator! After that I was refunded in only 1/3 and not in 1/2 of what I had paid
Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful landscapes, the UNESCO wooden churches, and that Mauricio made your experience even more special.

While reservation management is handled through the booking platform, we're glad the situation was at least partially resolved. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure in Chile!
Island has its charms. But there is a long time of displacement, exploring little attractions (surface)
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the island's unique charm. We understand that the travel time may feel long, and we appreciate your comments regarding the pace of the tour. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future!
This trip involves 8hrs in a bus for only 2hrs of sight seeing (couple of short visits) and a lunch (extra cost). The towns visited didn’t have much to offer part from the boat trip to see houses on stilts at Castro (extra cost not included in trip cost). The roads were busy and Chiloe island road has been badly damaged by trucks so not nice drive. Only positive is guide was good and had good interaction with the guests.
Thank you for sharing your experience on our Chiloé Island tour. We greatly value your comments, as they help us to better understand the expectations of our travelers. We sincerely regret that the perceived bus travel time did not match the time spent sightseeing according to your expectations. We design our tours to provide an overview of the region, including transfers between different points of interest which can sometimes involve longer journeys due to geographical distances and road conditions on the island. We note your observation about the attractiveness of the towns visited. The beauty of Chiloé lies in its cultural uniqueness, traditional architecture and natural landscapes, aspects that we try to highlight in our tour. We understand that preferences may vary and that perhaps the towns visited did not offer what you expected to find. Regarding the boat excursion in Castro, it is indeed offered as an optional activity at an additional cost, which is specified in our tour description. We seek to offer flexibility to our passengers so that they can choose the activities that interest them most. We are sorry to hear of your experience with road conditions and traffic, factors beyond our direct control but which we understand can affect the comfort of the trip. We are very happy to hear that the guide was up to standard and that his interaction with the guests was positive. We strive to have professional and enthusiastic guides to enrich our travelers' experience. We thank you again for your constructive feedback. We will take it into account to review and optimize our future tours on Chiloé Island, seeking a better balance between transfer times and destination exploration.
Very beautiful and picturesque localiad, very good offer of restaurants and hotels. Coast to the lake as if for hiking. The whole commercial part is very well presented.Ideal complement the whole visit to the waterfall with a very beautiful road in landscapes overlooking the Osorno volcano
¡Muchas gracias por su comentario! Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de los hermosos paisajes, la costanera, la oferta gastronómica y las impresionantes vistas al Volcán Osorno. Esperamos tener el placer de recibirle nuevamente en una próxima aventura.
This is a full day with lots of travel. We visited four towns and probably could have got away with just two as many are so similar it’s difficult to tell them apart. The artisan fairs sell the same products in each town so if you visit one of the larger fairs you’ll have seen what’s on offer. Would have liked to have more free time to roam two towns rather than have four 10-30 minute stops. Still learned a lot a out the area and had a wonderful time seeing what we could in the brief time we were in towns. Lunch was good except for the chicken soup which was watery with few carrot pieces and a spoonful of rice. The main dish offerings were enjoyed by all and the chefs were flexible and accommodating for allergies. The ferry crossing of Chacao channel was one of my favourite parts of the tour and our guide Carlos was fantastic!
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the experience, especially the ferry crossing, the local culture, and Carlos' guiding throughout the day. We also appreciate your comments regarding the itinerary pace and meal service, as they help us continue improving our tours. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future!
Had a good trip with the guide, Jorge, and the driver, Klaus. Jorge is really friendly and makes an effort to chat with everyone. Klaus is the reason for the smooth ride. Both are really professional and helpful during the tour! Lunch was reasonably priced, and the host at the local restaurant is super hospitable! The scenery is definitely worth a visit!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Jorge and Klaus helped make your experience so enjoyable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with them. It's great to know you enjoyed the scenery, the lunch, and the warm hospitality along the way. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
