Quellon

Quellón has served as a southern port on Chiloé Island in Chile’s Los Lagos Region since the early 20th century. Set on the shore of the Gulf of Corcovado, it is one of the island’s principal links to the waters and settlements of southern Chile. The town marks the southern end of Route 5, Chile’s section of the Pan-American Highway, commemorated by the Hito Cero monument. Quellón also belongs to Chiloé’s Huilliche cultural territory, while local food traditions include curanto, a communal dish cooked with heated stones. Its working waterfront and long-distance-road terminus give it a practical maritime identity distinct from the island’s northern towns.
