Muelle de las Almas
The Muelle de las Almas is located west of Isla Grande Chiloé, in Cucao village. It is a magical place where, according to the legend, the laments and supplications of the souls in pain await the Mapuche boatman Tempilkahue to take them to eternal rest. Without a doubt it is one of the most beautiful places to visit and it has all the magic of the original culture of Chiloe.
To get to the dock, you have to make a path of just over an hour through thick forests.The path has become a must for those who come to explore the island. It is a route of high scenic beauty through the fields and the coast, crowned by a work of art that alludes to local mythology.

The pinguineras of Puñihuil are 28 kilometers southwest of Ancud, and 130 kilometers north of Castro. Humboldt penguins and Magellanic penguins coexist in this small habitat, something that is not very common, as there is no other place where they can breed and nest two species together.

Iglesias patrimoniales
The churches of Chiloé, declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 2000, all belonging to the Chilota School of Architecture in Wood, have elements and particular characteristics that have earned them worldwide appreciation:
- The churches were built with an exquisite architectural technique born of the work of the "Chilotes" riverbank carpenter and the influence of techniques contributed to the process of evangelization. The result is a unique wooden architecture in America.
The temples are still used until today for what they were created, maintaining centuries-old traditions. Thus, churches are valued for what they represent as Living Heritage, transcending the architectural value.
Near Castro there are 5 of these churches, departing for San Francisco in the same Castro, Nercon only 3 km south, and Dalcahue, Vilipulli, Chonchi no more than 25 kilometers
