    Our guide, Anita, was incredibly detailed in everything she told us. The tour covers the entire history of the founding of Chiloé, explaining its roots and beliefs. We visited Ancud's landmarks, and the entire tour was very interesting.

Top Tours & Activities in Ancud | Discover Chiloé

Ancud offers a peaceful escape on the northern tip of Chiloé Island. This charming coastal town welcomes visitors with colorful wooden houses, lush landscapes, and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. It’s a great place to experience authentic local culture, taste fresh seafood, and explore traditional markets.

A Glimpse into History

Founded in 1767 as a Spanish fort, Ancud played a key role in the defense of southern Chile. Its powerful fortress protected the area from foreign invaders, making it an important historic site. Today, traces of its colonial past can still be found in the city’s architecture and museums.

Best Time to Visit

The months between November and March offer the most pleasant weather, with mild temperatures and less rain. These are ideal months for exploring outdoor attractions, enjoying boat trips, and walking along the coastline.

How do I get to the town?

Most travelers arrive via the ferry from the mainland, connecting with buses coming from regional cities like Puerto Montt. The journey is simple and offers beautiful views of the island’s landscape.

Is it worth trying the local cuisine?

Absolutely! Don’t miss the chance to try “curanto,” a traditional dish that combines seafood, meats, and potatoes, cooked in a pit. The local markets are great places to sample fresh fish and homemade pastries as well.
