These post-1960 earthquake houses on stilts are built in the ancestral Chiloé tradition.
Typical of the city and the archipelago, these houses on stilts are located at the northern entrance to the city, along the shore of Castro Fjord. The current buildings date from after the 1960 earthquake, but they are built according to the ancestral tradition of Chiloé. The pillars, made of ultra-strong wood, are designed to oscillate with the tides, without ever flinching. Colourful and charming little fishermen's houses are part of the local heritage.

Si vous ne faites pas un tour en mer en bateau pour voir les palafitos, ceux qu'on voit le mieux de la terre sont situés à la sortie sud de Castro, à l'embouchure du fleuve Gamboa. Exactement aussi colorés que sur les photos ! En continuant quelques km, on arrive à Nercon où on peut voir à droite une imposante église classée au patrimoine de l'UNESCO.
