Mechuque is a part of The Chiloé Archipelago. Locals call this small island the “Venice of Chiloé” — for its stilt-houses, called “palafitos”.
You will have a whole day ashore to explore, visit local museums, take pictures of breathtaking views and try unique “curanto al hoyo”, a traditional seafood dish cooked on hot rocks on the ground.
