Quellón

Located at the southern end of Chiloé Island, Quellón functions as a central fishing port with numerous seafood processing facilities and small fishing boats.

The establishment of Quellón in 1905 marked the beginning of a settlement that would grow into a major maritime center in Chile's Los Lagos Region.

The Museo Inchin Cuivi Anti preserves and displays the heritage of the Huilliche people, offering insights into the indigenous traditions of southern Chile.

Multiple ferry services connect Quellón with Patagonian settlements like Melinka, Puerto Cisnes, and Puerto Chacabuco, facilitating regional maritime transportation.

The city marks the southern terminus of the Pan-American Highway, with a commemorative plaque at Punta de Lapas indicating the end of Chile's longest road.
