EARTHQUAKE IN CHILE: IMPORTANT NOTICE
The big earthquake that hit our country early on February 27 had a serious impact on the Maule and Bío Bío regions. The Cities of Concepción, Talca, Talcahuano, Constitución, Lota and small settlements located on the Pacific shore near these cities were the most affected. The rest of the Chilean cities remain stable and operating normally. Their airports have been opened and their flights resumed, and so have public and communication services. Nevertheless, we recommend that you make contact with local operators (hotel managers and travel agencies) or with the Chilean Tourist Office, which has implemented an online service to keep people informed about the situation in each area (www.sernatur.cl).
As of today, the City of Santiago, as well as the most representative cities to the North and South of the capital, such as Arica, Iquique, San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta, La Serena, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Chillán, Los Angeles, Temuco, Puerto Varas, Frutillar, Puerto Montt, the Island of Chiloé, Isla de Pascua, Pucón, Villarrica and all the southern districts up to Punta Arenas, the country continues to operate normally. We are all distressed by everything that has happened but we will remain together to overcome this terrible moment.
Keep your head up, Chile!!! We are here for you.

How to Get There

We can get to the Big Island of Chiloé in different ways:
If by car from Chile, you must follow the carretera Panamericana Sur to Puerto Montt and take a transshipping to cross Canal de Chacao from the continent to the island, where you can visit the island from north to south starting in Ancud, Castro, Chonchi, and finally Quellón at the south end of the island.

From Bariloche, in Argentina, you can cross the Andes by car to Osorno or Puerto Montt and then continue to the island where you can visit such places as Dalcahue, Achao, Chonchi, Ancud, Castro, Quellón and others.
From Mendoza (Argentina) you can cross the Andes by car to Santiago and from there to the south along the carretera Panamericana Sur up to Puerto Montt and then travel for approximately 20 minutes to get to the Big Island of Chiloé.

By plane:
There are daily flights from Santiago to Puerto Montt of approximately two hours, and from there you may take a bus or rent a car to access to the island by transshipping for some 20 minutes.
