Many are unaware that in the current province of Chiloé there was a volcanic boiler millions of years ago that allowed the emergence of different types of magma in different periods, or that the area where the city of Ancud is located, is on two important formations of the called the Ancud Volcanic Complex of the Miocene epoch (around 20 million years ago).
But it is precisely this past that allowed the formation of those spectacular basaltic columns located west of Ancud and other geological elements that give shape to various hills and coastal cliffs around the city.
One of them is the sector of Duhatao, a small town of shellfish gatherers in the commune of Ancud inserted in the middle of a large native forest and on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Here its rugged relief offers a true spectacle that can be known through trails and natural viewpoints that are part of the "Chilean Trail".
In Duhatao, a place with few inhabited places, lots of vegetation and wildlife, you will find from extensive sectors of fields with intense colors and reliefs, to cliffs and finally forests, in which the sound of the ocean gives way to the singing of pelicans, sea lions and jotes
