How to get there

We can get to the Big Island of Chiloé in different ways:
If by car from Chile, you must follow the carretera Panamericana Sur to Puerto Montt and take a transshipping to cross Canal de Chacao from the continent to the island, where you can visit the island from north to south starting in Ancud, Castro, Chonchi, and finally Quellón at the south end of the island.

From Bariloche, in Argentina, you can cross the Andes by car to Osorno or Puerto Montt and then continue to the island where you can visit such places as Dalcahue, Achao, Chonchi, Ancud, Castro, Quellón and others.
From Mendoza (Argentina) you can cross the Andes by car to Santiago and from there to the south along the carretera Panamericana Sur up to Puerto Montt and then travel for approximately 20 minutes to get to the Big Island of Chiloé.

There are daily flights from Santiago to Puerto Montt of approximately two hours, and from there you may take a bus or rent a car to access to the island by transshipping for some 20 minutes.

Those who wish to experiment something new may choose a horseback ride over mountains, amidst forests, along beaches or across streams with the whole family enjoying beautiful moments.
