Quellón, Port city in southern Chiloé Island, Chile
Quellón sits at the southern end of Chiloé Island and functions as a major fishing port with many seafood processing plants and small fishing vessels. The city spreads along the coast with dock facilities that shape daily life and economic activity in the area.
The city was founded in 1905 and grew into the fishing center of the Los Lagos Region. From these modest beginnings emerged a significant port whose importance continues today.
The Museo Inchin Cuivi Anti displays the traditions and history of the Huilliche people through objects and exhibits that visitors can see today. The collection gives a sense of how this indigenous community lived across generations in this region.
Multiple ferry services link Quellón with Patagonian settlements like Melinka, Puerto Cisnes, and Puerto Chacabuco for regional maritime journeys. The city serves as a stopover for travelers exploring the fjords and lakes south of Chiloé.
The city marks the southern end of the Pan-American Highway, with a memorial stone at Punta de Lapas noting this milestone. Few visitors know about this location despite it marking the terminus of one of the Americas' longest roads.
