Pargua is a village in the commune of Calbuco, in Los Lagos Region of Chile.[2] It is located on the northeast side of the Chacao Channel. Pargua is on Route 5 (Ruta 5 Sur) and a ferry connects the village with the village of Chacao, Ancud Comuna at the northern end of Chiloé Island.[3][4] There are plans to build the Chacao Channel bridge across the channel to replace the ferry.[5]
