🎧  Listen to Introduction

The churches of Chiloé are unique examples of wooden church architecture in Latin America. They represent a tradition started by the Jesuit itinerant missionaries in the 17th and 18th centuries, continued and enriched by the Franciscans in the 19th century, and still flourishing today. These churches embody the intangible wealth of the Chiloé archipelago, bearing witness to the successful fusion of indigenous and European cultures, the complete integration of the architecture with the landscape and environment, and the spiritual values of the community.
