Castro's Unmissable Highlights

Castro, the capital of Chiloé Island, is defined by its iconic palafitos—vibrantly colored wooden houses built on stilts over the tidal waters. The city is home to the Church of San Francisco, a UNESCO World Heritage site noted for its bold yellow facade and intricate interior woodwork. This collection highlights the area's maritime heritage through numerous coastal viewpoints, the bird-rich Putemún Wetland, and the traditional architecture found along the Gamboa River and the Castro Fjord.
