We will meet at Calle Libertad to begin this free tour of Ancud. Our first stop will be the Plaza de Armas, where the city, founded by Spaniards over 400 years ago, originated. We will also see mythological sculptures that illustrate Chilean beliefs.

Next, we will visit the Cathedral of Ancud, built in the late 20th century after the prior structure collapsed in a tragic earthquake in 1960. We will further explore the city's religious culture at the Museum of the Churches of Chiloé.

Subsequently, we will head to the market, featuring local produce and crafts. Our journey will continue to the San Antonio Fort, constructed under Carlos III for defense against enemies. Here, we will discuss the history surrounding Chiloé's independence, an important chapter for Ancud.
