Chiloé Island (Isla de Chiloé), also known as Greater Island of Chiloé (Isla Grande de Chiloé), is the largest island of the Chiloé Archipelago off the coast of Chile, in the Pacific Ocean. The island is located in southern Chile, in the Los Lagos Region.
Chiloe is famous for myths and legends with roots in its native population but with some European influence. Even though the island was Christianized by Spanish conquerors (you can visit many of the Jesuit wooden churches all over the island) its inhabitants are also very superstitious. A singing, fair-haired beauty similar to the German Lorelei is called la pincoya. It is said that if she dances towards the coast the sea will bring a lot of fish. A ghost ship carrying the souls of wrecked sailors, similar to the Flying Dutchman, is called caleuche. And if someone tells you he or she was seduced in the forest, it might have been the fiura or the trauco, which is often blamed for venereal disease or an awkward pregnancy. A very pitiful figure is the invunche; as a baby his orifices, including his eyes, were closed and one leg was sewn to his back, so that he walks on three legs.
See
=============
There are quite a few local sites to be seen throughout Chiloe Island. Since it was separated by water from the mainland, many of the local traditions have been preserved here, instead of merging with the Spanish culture after the conquest.
The Bay of Caulin offers the chance to see locals actively rounding up seaweed in their daily tasks, being collected by hand and with ox-carts. The Bay of Ancud also offers great views and chances for kayaking. An old Spanish battery can also be visited on the North side of the bay. The Puñihuil Penguin colony is located on the north side of the island along the Pacific coast. Chiloe's National Park and Ahuenca region are habitat for diverse and abundant wildlife.
Tours
============
Few tour companies offer guided tours on Chiloe Island, as most Lakes District tourism activity takes place in the areas around Osorno Volcano, Lake Llanquihue, and Pumalin Park further northeast from the island.

PENGUINS OF CHILOÉ ISLAND IN CHILE (S3E6) HD
This week, we are visiting the mystic Chiloé Island! After sleeping in Ancud, we go on a boat tour on the Pacific Ocean.
We see the Humboldt penguins in their natural habitat and the guide explains a bit about this species. While everyone is having lunch at a restaurant, we decide to go on an adventure of our own... A short hike up to one of the most striking views! The landscape in this view changed completely after the 1960 earthquake, which was 10 000 times the power of a hiroshima bomb, and this counts as the most powerful earthquake in history!
Next week, we are visiting a new country, Colombia! Follow our adventures @Gab & Maya and thanks for your great support.

Trekking im Tantauco Park (Chiloe, Chile)
Video unser 6tägigen Trekking Tour im Tantauco National Park auf der Insel Chiloe in Chile. Es hat leider durchgehend geregnet, so dass ich nur Videos mit der GoPro machen konnte.
Auch wenn man es stellenweise kaum erkennen kann, ist das alles der offizielle Wanderweg. Der Park ist aber so wenig frequentiert und es regnet oft so stark, dass man den Weg stellenweise mehr erahnen als wirklich sehen kann.
Die Hütten hatten wir bis auf einen Tag komplett für uns alleine! Und es gab nichts schöneres, wenn man durchgefroren und durchnässt endlich in der Hütte den Holzofen anzünden konnte.

Los Senderos de Chepu, January 2011
Photos from a glorious 5-day stay at Los Senderos de Chepu. Señora Enriqueta and Don Fernando provide a quiet place to stay with gorgeous views, good food, great trekking and horse riding. They also have the little train on wooden rails that goes into the nearby forest for a great walk. Music by Bordemar, Pehuen from the album Música Desde Tierra Adentro.
