The Chiloé archipelago is one of the most touristic places in southern Chile. Consist of the main island, the Isla Grande de Chiloé, and many smaller islands and islets that are part of the coastal range that sinks into the Pacific Ocean.
Chiloé′s landscapes vary from high hills reaching 800 meters in height to lower, cleared hills devoted to agriculture and logging. These are falling into the sea and channels are forming that have been molded with the changes of the tides.
The climate of the archipelago is temperate maritime rainy, with average temperatures of 11°C and rainfall ranging between 2,000 and 3,000 mm. annually in some points of the archipelago.
The culture is very typical and unique, with the constructions of stilt houses being very characteristic, the architecture of its churches, and the gastronomy with the potato as the base of almost all meals
