The Golfo de Ancud is a significant marine embayment within Chile's Seno de Reloncaví-Golfo de Ancud system, forming part of the intricate inland sea of Chiloé in the Los Lagos Region. This large, sheltered gulf is characterized by complex tidal dynamics, deep channels, and a rich marine ecosystem that supports both artisanal fisheries and recreational angling. The waters connect to the open Pacific through channels like the Boca del Guafo and the Golfo Corcovado, while inland passages such as the Canal Desertores facilitate exchange with adjacent waterways, creating a diverse and productive environment for a variety of saltwater species.
