Tierra Chiloe
It is hard to imagine from its bay location, overlooking an archipelago of small islands that it is just a 30 minute drive from the town of Castro.
With just 24 rooms, Tierra Chiloé feels intimate and personal; and all the more so because the décor combines Chiloé craftsmanship and modern innovation.
Wooden walls and doors, along with hand-crafted furniture and locally-sourced woven fabrics create a calming setting from which you can gaze through picture windows onto the beauty of Patagonia.
Otherwise, just relax in the bar and lounge, which offers panoramic views out to views enticing you to go out and discover.
The hotel’s restaurant gives guests an insight into the culinary spirit of this island, and you may want to try “”Curanto”, one of Chiloé’s most traditional dishes; a delicious stew of shellfish, fish and potatoes cooked on hot stones buried in the ground.
- Visit the various UNESCO World Heritage Jesuit churches, famous for their wooden shingles and unique design. Combine this with a wander through local markets where everything from fresh fish to handmade textiles are on display.
- Take a trip on the hotel’s own wooden boat the "Williche", which navigates the inland waterways of fiords and canals near the lodge.
- Bird watching is a popular option as the property is located next to wetlands, which are home to a variety of migratory birds. The area is a twitcher’s paradise.
- Take a cycle along one of the numerous cycling trails, which vary in level from relaxed to difficult.
- An excursion with the hotel’s horseman will show you how the local breed of horses – the small Chilote – is perfectly suited to the island’s geography.
