On this free tour of Ancud, we'll discover the history and main monuments of one of the important cities in the Chiloé Archipelago. We'll learn about its links with the Spanish monarchy and its independence process.

Ancud Free Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Calle Libertad to start this free tour of Ancud.

We'll first walk around the Plaza de Armas, learning about the origins of this city founded by Spaniards over 400 years ago. We'll also see mythological sculptures related to Chilean beliefs.

We will visit the Cathedral of Ancud, constructed at the end of the 20th century on the site of a previous temple that collapsed in a tragic earthquake in 1960. Next, we will explore the Museum of the Churches of Chiloé.

Afterwards, we will head to the market for fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and crafts. We will continue to the San Antonio Fort, built by Carlos III to defend these lands. We will discuss the independence of Chiloé, an important chapter in Ancud's history.

After a 2.5-hour tour, we will conclude our guided tour at the Plazoleta Goleta Ancud.
