Objective:
• The ultimate goal of the Route of the Church is able to spread the real value of the churches as a manifestation of the living culture of Chiloé. Churches in many cases are still used in the same way that 100 or 200 years ago, so it is essential to maintain this tradition with the necessary care to keep the identity that has persisted for so long. The idea is to promote tourism to generate direct and indirect mechanisms for the maintenance of temples, its restoration and community development. | | | | General background: | • The idea of organizing a heritage route reflects a longstanding wish of the Bishop of Ancud that through the Foundation of Friends of the Churches of Chiloé (FAICH) wants to encourage tourism development around the church property in order to benefit and develop the surrounding communities. It began in November 2009 as a way to allow tourists visiting Chiloe better knowledge and understanding of what really are the churches. Normally visitors visited the churches closer to the cities and settle for taking pictures from outside, because in the week most of the temples are closed. With the Route of the Churches, we can guarantee to have a number of churches open guides economic field. This can teach the value of assets, their construction techniques, the use of wood, Minga, etc. | | Route · To begin, we have created in Ancud Visitors Center, which consists of a sample inserted into the former Immaculate Conception Chapel, we open every day and that teaches through historical objects, religious relics, pictures, banners, videos and models, everything connected with the Churches of Chiloé: The process of evangelization of the island, using wood, carpenters, wood architecture, the work of the Foundation of Friends of the churches, cultural identity and living heritage. | | · At the end of the visit, tourists are very grateful and aware of the background of these churches. Understand why many of them have been declared World Heritage Site, they understand that are still in use today as they were taught from the Evangelization, understand the institution of tax, value constructive solutions implemented by carpenters and are proud Foundation's work to rescue the living heritage, characteristic of the Chiloé more authentic. | | | • With this exhibition, visitors are invited to make the path field and complement this valuable information delivered to them. To do so are given a printed guide containing detailed instructions for making the suggested route the main churches of Chiloé. | | |
