Chiloé Day 1

We flew out of Santiago headed towards Puerto Montt and took a ferry from Puerto Montt to the beautiful island of Chiloé. We drove to Puñihuil to eat lunch, see some penguins, and learn about sustainable tourism, but not before stopping to snap some photos of the view.  From Puñihuil we headed off to Castro, the largest city on the island. We are staying in a gorgeous “palafito” (house on stilts) hostel and had an amazing dinner at the restaurant next door before learning about Chiloé’s history and mythology from a local historian. Now it’s time to zzzzzzz…
