ABOUT HOTEL PARQUE QUILQUICO - in their own words:

It is ideal for those who seek to be in close contact with Mother Nature and marvel at the vast expansions of native forests with their aromas of damp earth and the ever present sea and flora and fauna that can only be found in these latitudes.

It is for those who not only enjoy a rainy day but also the beautiful rainbows that appear at any given moment.

For those who enjoy the luxury of authentic things, who appreciate the streaks of the wooden beams present throughout the hotel as well as the natural colors of the knitted items with unique fibers that embellish spaces throughout our facilities.

And of course for those who wish to learn more about the wealth of the islands' culture and yearn to discover the stories and legends of local mythology... It is for those who want to live Chiloé with their hearts and soul!

CLIMATE
Chiloé's climate is maritime, damp (read wet and rainy), changeable but mild. The west coast is more inclement, with wilder weather. The east coast is more protected and milder. The winds are very boisterous, and the sky almost always clouded: to have a week of fine weather is something wonderful. Water resistant footwear is recommended for any walking on the soft and swampy ground. Summer (December to March) visitors are more likely to run into crowds sailing the Patagonia fjords, but Chiloé is an any-time destination. Summer, with the flowers blooming and many of the towns celebrating their local fiestas, is a good time to visit.
