7. Chiloé

It’s common for island culture to slightly differ from the traditions of the mainland, but Chiloé is a whole other story. The lush, green archipelago that lies off the western coast of Chile has kept itself isolated from the national culture long enough to maintain its very own identity. Here, mythological stories of ghost-ships, gnomes and witches mark the popular beliefs, making it the perfect getaway for writers and fable-lovers alike. Also, the architecture has remained unscarred by the modern world, so be ready for a visual treat. Oh, and one more thing…the island coast harbors dolphins, penguins and blue whales!
