Chiloé and Magallanes regional cooperation

Overview

Municipalities in the Chiloé and Magallanes regions are working to strengthen historical and logistical connections. Initially, the mayors of Castro and Punta Arenas signed a commitment to honor the historical legacy of the Goleta Ancud and the 1843 takeover of the Strait of Magellan, with efforts to recognize September 21 as a significant historical date.

Building on these ties, local leaders are now coordinating to restore a direct commercial air route between Presidente Carlos Ibáñez del Campo International Airport and the Mocopulli airfield in Dalcahue. This proposed non-stop flight would bypass Puerto Montt, reducing travel time to approximately two hours and addressing the deep historical and familial links between the two territories.
