Anchorages
While it is possible to secure to the town wharf for short periods a better option is Caleta La Poza a short distance to the north. Here it is possible to either lie at anchor or you may choose to anchor and run shore lines.
Tourism & things to do ashore
- The town has limited attractions and is not high on my list of 'must return' ports.
- There is an airfield on the island and the ferry 'Don Baldo' calls at the port several times a week and links it with Chacabuco and Isla Grande de Chiloe.
Stores
Limited provisions can be found in the town. There is a post office together with a few bars and small restaurants.
