On the island of Chiloe, they have distinctive architecture involving wooden shingles as siding for the majority of the houses. This skill with woodworking translated into the building of over a dozen wooden churches on the island, which are now recognized and protected as a UNESCO world heritage site. This is a view of the interior of the largest, the church of San Francisco, in Castro. These churches are an amazing contrast to the cold, ornate, gilded stone cathedrals in Europe. The feel inside is like a warm hug because of the wood surrounding you. Ornamentation is minimal, and the simple elegance of the structure speaks for itself: the divine manifested through the work of human hands.
