Details About Castro

Destinations » South America » South American Coast » Castro


In the town of Castro one finds rows of houses, called palafitos, built on stilts over the water where owners dock their fishing boats at the back door. The village was founded by the Spaniards in the mid-16th century and Jesuit missionaries were among the first settlers. On the west side of the island is Parque Nacional Chiloe where there are 110 species of birds in the forest.

Attractions

Dolphins and seals abound along the Chiloe Archipelago, a rugged and unspoiled island chain that parallels Chile's mountainous coast of snow-capped peaks. The capital of Castro is set on a beautiful natural harbor on the Isla Grande de Chiloe.

Currency

Chile's national currency is the Chilean Peso ($)
