Chacao, Colonial village in northern Chiloé Island, Chile
The Chacao village sits along the southern edge of the Chacao Channel, connecting Chiloé Island with mainland Chile through a ferry system.
Founded in 1567 as San Antonio de Chacao, the settlement housed Spanish governors and military troops who relocated from Carelmapu in 1655.
The Iglesia Matriz de San Antonio de Chacao, constructed in 1710, stands as a wooden church with two towers near the central plaza.
The village functions as the primary northern entry point to Chiloé Island, with regular ferry services operating throughout the year.
Historical cannons from the colonial Remolinos Battery remain on display in the plaza, marking the village's military past.
