As I approached the island, my sensors picked up a strong smell of seafood and a soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore. Chiloe Island is a place of mystery and traditions. The islanders have their own mythology about ghosts and witches, which I found fascinating. The architecture of the wooden houses and the churches were different from anything I had seen before. I learned that the island has its own unique language and culture, which is a blend of Spanish and indigenous traditions. I even got to try curanto, a traditional dish prepared in a hole in the ground lined with hot rocks. Overall, Chiloe Island was a delightful experience, and I look forward to learning more about the island's history.
