Palafitos of Castro: A Self-guided Audio Tour of Chiloe Island
Things to know
About the Activity
Explore Chiloé with a historian who has spent time around the wood-burning stove on long winter nights gathering stories. As you make your way along the coast, you'll hear how fiction is just as believable as fact. As with a beautiful denizen of the sea who blesses fishermen with a catch or a zombie ship out at sea leading people to the golden gates of an eternal city, you'll definitely want to dig deeper into the lore. Once you've downloaded the tour, you can head to the first point of the tour. Don't worry if there is WiFi or not, because the audio tour works regardless with your phone's GPS signal. Just put your phone in your pocket, forget about it, and let the audio guide you. The tour gives you directions and plays at exactly the right time and place. Take a stroll around the main part of town. The walk takes about half an hour, but you can stop at any point along the way. Discover the beautiful San Francisco church and taste local delicacies at the market at the end of the tour.45 minutes to 1 hour
