Chiloé Island is the second largest island in South America after Tierra del Fuego and is renowned for its Jesuit churches from the 17th and 18th centuries. Over 50 of the originally 100 or so wooden churches survive today, with fourteen of them constituting the World Heritage Site. The churches display a fusion between European and indigenous influences to produce a unique wooden architecture. Other attractions on the island include the colourfully painted houses built on stilts on the water's edge and the old Spanish fortress of Ancud.
