For a country with a relatively small population, Chile has an abundance of two things: coastline and churches. From the uniquely famous Chiloe churches to the Spanish colonial cathedrals, we take a look inside some of Chile’s oldest and most historical churches.
Off the coast of Chile’s main Chiloe Island is Quinchao where you’ll find one of the oldest of the Chiloe Island churches. Unlike the awe-inspiring marble structures in other parts of Chile, these churches attract visitors for their shingled exteriors and unusual architecture.
