Explore the Magical Island of Chiloé with this all inclusive luxury getaway

On a hilltop above the banks of the Rilán peninsula, sits Tierra Chiloé Hotel & Spa, an architectural venture unique for its respectful insertion into the landscape and culture of Chiloé.

The program starts and finishes at either Castro or Puerto Montt Airport, where you will be picked up and transferred to the hotel for a three night stay.

Through Tierra´s all-inclusive program, you can discover Chiloé by land and by sea, and enjoy locally sourced produce that arrives daily, including succulent oysters, farm fresh eggs and the daily catch. 

There’s just nowhere in the world like this archipelago!

The island

The archipelago of Chiloé is composed of 30 islands, each of which offers visitors views of rolling hills and villages filled with brightly colored wooden houses. Isla Grande de Chiloé, a 250 km long and 50 km wide rectangle, is the first island to come into view as you cross the Chacao Channel by ferry.

Ancud, Castro and Quellón are the most important cities in the area, as well as the up and coming Rilan Peninsula, north of Castro. These are just a few starting points from which to explore the beautiful landscape and discover the delicious cuisine of the area, with all its mythology and local festivals.

One of the first things that you will notice is the genuine charm of its people, the Chilotes –descendents of Spanish colonizers and the Huilliche people, who are renowned for their hospitality. The colorful houses on stilts, or palafitos, have become one of the classic images of Chiloé, as have its 18th and 19th century wooden churches, 16 of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Natural paradise

Though the cultural aspects of Chiloé definitely seem to take center stage, the area’s natural bounty is impossible to miss. The sea and forest converge in a wild and solitary landscape on Isla Grande de Chiloé, which is home to a national park located in the western part of the island and Tantauco Park to the south.

Visitors can spot Chilote foxes, hundreds of bird species and humpback whales on their way to Patagonia. Tantauco Park also boasts an impressive network of hiking trails that wind through larch, myrtle and cypress trees.

Tierra Chiloé Hotel & Spa

The hotel is located amid the blue waters of Chile´s Northern Patagonia, on a mythical island, dotted with picturesque fishing villages. In true Tierra style, the lodge´s distinctive architecture is in-step with its breathtaking surroundings and comes complete with its own boat, the “Williche”, for navigating the inland waters. With only 12 guest rooms, the property offers exceptional experiences and personalized service to its guests.

Gastronomy

The cuisine at Tierra Chiloé Hotel & Spa includes representative Chiloé dishes, giving you tasty insight into the culinary spirit of this island, which takes full advantage of the excellent local foodstuffs from land and sea.

A highlight of Chiloé’s varied cuisine is curanto, a stew of shellfish, fish, potato and meat, cooked in a hole in the ground covered with the leaves of the Chilean rhubarb. Also typical are the oysters of the Caulín oyster farm, the crabs of Quellón, the golden liquor of Conchi, the traditional pancakes milcao and chapalele, and apple cider.

Relaxation and renewal

To finish up your adventure we invite you to relax in our fully equipped spa, which offers a complete array of services. It’s located on the second floor for your convenience, near the guest rooms. Here you will find sauna and steam room, massage room, a large and comfortable Jacuzzi for up to 8 people, and deckchairs to relax in while you enjoy a pleasant view of the Pullao wetland.
