Chiloe

Chiloe, an archipelago off the southern coast of Chile, is known for its unique culture and cuisine. The islands' isolation has led to the development of a distinctive culinary tradition, with dishes likecuranto en hoyo (a traditional method of cooking food in a hole in the ground) and milcao (potato pancakes) being local specialties. The islands' rich marine life also means that seafood is a staple of the local diet. Visiting Chiloe is like stepping into another world, one where time seems to have stood still and where food is a way of life.
