Calbuco
Founded in 1603 as a Spanish fort, Calbuco is the oldest city in Chile's Llanquihue Province, sitting on an island in the Los Lagos Region and connected to the mainland by a causeway. The commune encompasses fourteen islands in total and contains the Monte Verde archaeological site. Scenic viewpoints in the surrounding mountain terrain add to the area's appeal, and the waterfront location reflects the town's long history as a fish market.
