After picking you up at your hotel in Castro, we will travel to the north-east until we reach the town of Dalcahue, to visit its typical artisan fair, as well as its church declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

We will board our vehicle again to cross to the island Quinchao through a ferry, to continue then to Huyar, a typical village of the island, and Curaco de Vélez, an old chilote farmhouse known for its rural villages, its architecture, religiosity, folklore and local crafts.

Continuing with the route we will arrive to Achao, a town surrounded by hills, which faces a shallow sandy beach, from where the islands of Llingua and Linlín are seen. In the surrounding hills there are abundant viewpoints, such as the Alto de la Paloma, which offers beautiful views of Achao and its classic houses lined with larch tiles. There we will visit the Santa María de Loreto de Achao church, the oldest on the island, declared a World Heritage Site. It is the oldest church in Chiloé.

Finally we will visit Villa Quinchao, where we will find the largest Chilote traditional churches, and then we will arrive at the end of the island to the Chequian sector. From there we will start the trip back to Castro.
