Chiloé island, though easily accessible by ferry in southern Chile, is a bit off the beaten path for most travelers, in the best possible way! Melissa Dear, a travel specialist at Audley Travel, says "if you're not aware of it, not much marketing, you may overlook it."
Melissa shares what makes Chiloé so special. Hint: it's the abundance of fresh seafood, the nature, the thousand year old UNESCO churches, the distinctive island & native culture, along with the best birdwatching in Chile, dolphins, temperate rainforest, a sunken forest you can take kayaks through, and a lot more.
Even with so much to do, Melissa makes her best attempt at the end of this episode to outline what you could do during a, very busy, day on Chiloé.
