Ancud Free Tour

On this free tour of Ancud, we will discover the history and main monuments of a significant city in the Chiloé Archipelago, exploring its connections with the Spanish monarchy and its independence process.

At the scheduled time, we will meet at Calle Libertad to begin the tour. The first stop will be the Plaza de Armas, where we will learn about the city's origins and see various mythological sculptures that reflect Chilean beliefs.

Next, we will visit the Cathedral of Ancud, reconstructed in the late 20th century after the original collapsed in a tragic earthquake in 1960. We will also visit the Museum of the Churches of Chiloé to delve deeper into the city's religious culture.

Following this, we will proceed to the market, offering local produce and crafts, before heading to the San Antonio Fort, built under Carlos III's orders for defense. Here, we will discuss the fascinating chapter of Chiloé’s independence.

The tour will conclude after 2.5 hours at the Plazoleta Goleta Ancud.
