Starry sky with constellation of Orion and Pleiades star cluster above Vilupulli church (Chiloe). Chiloé is a large island in the South of Chile. Some of its many churches are of the very few remaining XVIIIth century wooden churches in the world. For this reason they were selected among the 100 world monument in danger. Vilupulli church is one of the 16 churches of Chiloe that UNESCO declared as world heritage. It was built in the XVIIIth century and was visited by Darwin 1834; its bell tower is known as the thinnest and finest of chiloé churches.
