The colorful wilderness of the Chiloe Archipelago continuously awes visitors with its amazing landscapes, which are also home to some beautiful and complex ecosystems.

Just steps away from Refugia Chiloe,  you’ll find what many believe to be the best spot for birdwatching in Chile: the Pullao wetlands on Chiloé island.

The wetlands stretch for about one kilometer  and serve as a seasonal home to thousands of species migrating from the northern hemisphere, such as the Hudsonian godwit, the whimbrel and the Rhynchops niger, among others.

“It truly is an exceptional place to birdwatch. Bird species change throughout the seasons, flocking there for food; this of course allows us to study their behavior and take good photos,” said Gonzalo Sánchez, Refugia Chiloe’s Excursions manager.
