It's a mystery

The first time I heard about Chiloé and its magic was when I was a child, I remember myself reading about its folklore and mythology in one of the chapters of my language book in primary school. Chiloé was represented as a place of superstition and legend where mythological beasts were described, but in just two lines of a text.
I never really understood what made this island so special, so the day I visited it I was very anxious as if the Caleuche was going to appear in front of my eyes one of those days.

That trip happened a couple of years ago. One of my aunts and I visited it and we didn’t stay for more than seven days, but it was quite an adventure.
We did a lot of sightseeing around Ancud, Castro, Dalcahue, Quellón, Chonchi, Achao, and Curaco de Vélez and took lots of photographs, of course. I dare to say that this trip has been one the best I have done so far since Chiloé is beautiful and different to all the places I have visited. To picture it better, when I travel across Chile, along the Ruta 5, the impression I always get is that of being still while the landscape moves like a comic strip. When I travelled across the island, however, the impression I got was totally different. I saw soft winding hills among lengas, coihues, ferns, and nalcas: like the ups and downs of a kind roller-coaster showing you this wonderful landscape in parts. Not only the place is different and special, but also its atmosphere: at times, the island seems inhabited, like if its people were coming up with a plot inside those beautiful houses that seem to be made of wooden fish skin.

There is no doubt why it was the best holidays ever. I found out a mysterious region where everything happens in silence, not in the shrillness or the heat of a city, but just in the fog and silence.

  10. Chiloe is very beautiful, its identity as an island is very remarkable. In fact, the mythology of the place is due to the fusion between the Christian religion and the indigenous religion.
