Chiloe

This remote island off the coast of southern Chile is famous for mainly three things. "Palafitos", which are houses build on stilts near the shore...





The typical wooden churches [16 are UNESCO world heritage sites]...




And last but not least a great variety of island liquors, of which the most notorious is "licor de oro". It is a strange brew consisting of milk, sugar and many peculiar spices - truly a unique and confusing experience.
