Tenaún

The church of Tenaún, built in the mid-nineteenth century, is located at the end of the main street and in front of the square, it is the most imposing construction of the town, it stands out for its three towers and because it protrudes from the axis, which allows its vision from afar, mainly from the sea.

One of the most deeply rooted traditions in this town is the Minga, which consists in the transfer of houses through the sea or land.

In the area, this tradition has a social event of great participation that favors interaction and community sense strongly rooted in Chiloe identity.

By virtue of its cultural value, on November 5, 2004 it was declared a National Monument in the category of a Typical Zone.
