In the northern reaches of Chiloé Island lies a hidden gem that often goes unnoticed—Isla Aucar. This small, secluded island is accessible only by a long wooden bridge, which transports you to a world that feels suspended in time.
As you step onto the bridge, the only sound you hear is the gentle whisper of the wind. Each footfall resonates on the weathered planks, and the sea breeze carries a fresh, damp scent. When the tide rises, the island becomes an enchanting oasis, surrounded by the serene waters of the sea, as if floating in a timeless memory. As the tide recedes, the mudflats are revealed, like a forgotten secret waiting to be rediscovered.
On Isla Aucar, you’ll find a quaint little church, a peaceful cemetery, and a few ancient, wind-sculpted trees standing sentinel under the vast, open sky. Here, solitude reigns; no one will disturb your tranquility, and no one will remember your visit.
• Admission: Free.
