Muelle Acceso Muelle De La Luz

Muelle de la Luz is a scenic overlook and pier in the rural Chepu sector of Ancud, on the island of Chiloé.

To reach it, visitors travel by boat for roughly 25 minutes along the Río Chepu from Puente Anguay, then follow a short coastal trail of about 10–20 minutes on foot.

The pier sits atop a cliff and offers sweeping panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the mouth of the Río Chepu, surrounding forests stretching north toward Duhatao, and the western edge of Parque Nacional Chiloé, with Isla Metalqui visible in the distance.

The structure takes its name from a local legend: around the year 2000, before any development existed in the area, residents reported seeing mysterious lights appearing from the sea.

A second legend holds that couples who climb to the pier hand in hand will never be separated. Muelle de la Luz is considered the northernmost in a series of iconic piers that have become landmarks of the Chiloé landscape.
