Things to do in  Ancud

Perched on a cliff above the Pacific Ocean, Fuerte San Antonio (San Antonio Fort) was built by the Spanish in the mid-18th century to defend Chiloé Island and its surrounding waters. Today, it’s a tourist attraction offering sweeping ocean views and a glimpse into Chilean history.

Get to know the cultural history and heritage of Chiloé and its people at the Regional Museum of Ancud, also known as Museo Chiloé. The museum’s collection traces the development of the Chilean archipelago, starting from the first inhabitants who settled there more than 6,000 years ago.
