Los Lagos Region

Chile’s Los Lagos Region combines Pacific-island traditions with Andean lake-country character in a way that reflects its position between the Pacific Ocean and the southern Andes. On its western side, the Chiloé Archipelago is separated from the mainland by the Chacao Channel and is known for its maritime culture, wooden architecture, and distinct local cuisine. UNESCO inscribed 16 wooden Churches of Chiloé on the World Heritage List in 2000. Inland, Lake Llanquihue and the volcanoes of the lake district shape a very different setting, while Puerto Montt serves as the regional capital and a major port.
