Chiloé: Day and night

A special one day visit to the Emerald island

~Consult for prices~

          Day 1:-   Ancud and Pacific Penguins                                                                  

The tour begins  and ends in the quiet oceanside town of Ancud in an area steeped in history, where the Spanish made their last stand in the whole of the Americas. After a brief introduction to the history and culture of Chiloé over Kuchen (German cakes) in a teahouse overlooking the bay, we’ll depart into the Chilote countryside towards the rugged Pacific Coast of the island.  An area of deserted beaches, quiet farmlands and coastal forests, the rarely visited West coast is a hidden jewel of natural beauty and wildlife.  Our destination will be the unique penguin colony of Puñihuíl, the only place in the world where Humbolt and Magallanic penguins nest side by side.  We will tour the small island colonies by boat, a trip that often encounters many other types of marine life.  After a gourmet picnic lunch of smoked salmon, we will spend the afternoon exploring the rugged beauty of the hidden beaches and countryside of the West coast.  The area is great for nature photography and taking walks along one of the pristine beaches lining the coast.  Activities from hiking to site-seeing to be determined by your interests.  Overnight and dinner to be spent back in Ancud.

One may substitute a day of sea-kayaking in the tranquil waters of the bay of Ancud and a guided visit to the museum for the trip to the Pacific coast.

Day 2:- Farewell

After breakfast, your guide will take you to the bus terminal for your return to the mainland or direct to Puerto Mont.
