Muelle de las Almas

The wooden structure extends 17 meters from a 70-meter cliff edge toward the Pacific Ocean in the Bay of Cucao.

Architect Marcelo Orellana constructed this artistic installation in 2007 as part of a thesis project funded through a Fondart grant.

Local mythology states the pier serves as a departure point where souls request passage from Tempilcahue, the mythical ferryman of the afterlife.

Visitors must first obtain tickets at Rahue office, then drive 2.8 kilometers to parking and hike 2.3 kilometers on marked trails.

During peak season, up to 700 people per day visit this coastal structure where the wooden walkway appears to dissolve into the ocean.
