Gamboa Airport serves as the main air gateway to Castro and the Chiloé Archipelago. Located just a few kilometers from the city center, this modest facility handles domestic flights from Santiago and Puerto Montt. Visitors arriving here are greeted by sweeping vistas of rolling farmland, dense forests, and the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Corcovado. The airport itself is compact and efficient, with a small terminal that captures the relaxed pace of island life. It's a convenient starting point for exploring Castro's iconic palafitos (stilt houses) and the surrounding natural wonders.
