Castro

The best time to visit Castro is during the Chilean summer, from December to March. The weather is generally mild and sunny, ideal for exploring the outdoors and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the city. However, the shoulder seasons (September-November and April-May) also offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

The must-see attractions in Castro include the palafitos, the Iglesia San Francisco, the Mercado Municipal, and the Museo Regional de Castro. Consider taking a boat tour to explore the nearby islands and enjoy the stunning coastal scenery.

Castro offers a variety of delicious seafood dishes, reflecting its coastal location. Try the curanto, a traditional Chilean dish cooked in an earth oven, and enjoy fresh seafood at the local restaurants. You can also find local specialties like milcao and chapalele, potato-based dishes that are unique to the Chiloé region.
