We saw and learned so much today on our tour with Ana. At the city market we learned about the different kelp / sea weeds they eat, that there are over 300 different potatoes, that they only have one word for cheese - soft, hard, with holes - it's just cheese.... The two church were beautiful in their own different ways. The houses on stilts and their historty was facinating. And, oh my, the handicraft market had so many wool and wooden items. The sweaters were beautiful and fuctional. The prices were much lower than at home. It was a wonderful tour!
Great tour of Castro

Our guide, Anna, was very knowledgeable. All our questions were answered. She (and our very safe and efficient driver) are both passionate about Castro, Chiloe and Chile. A most enjoyable few hours!
