Gimnasio Fiscal Luis "Caco" Suárez

The Gimnasio Fiscal Luis 'Caco' Suárez sits in the central district of Ancud, a town on the island of Chiloé. It is an indoor basketball venue. The municipality owns the building, and while the original construction date remains unrecorded, the structure was certainly standing firm when the band Los Prisioneros played inside it in 1986. A major renovation carried out in 2012 by Constructora Wörner updated the facility. The hardwood surface is standard for the sport, but the atmosphere inside is distinct because of its location. Situated at Arturo Prat 365, the gymnasium serves as the home court for local teams and occasionally hosts national tournaments, such as the Supercopa del Básquetbol Chileno. In December 2024, the venue was renamed to honour Luis 'Caco' Suárez, a Chilean basketball player from Ancud who died at the age of 76. The current capacity is 2,200 spectators, a figure reported by local outlets, though this number is not universally agreed upon. The building itself is functional and central to the town's sporting life, providing a roof for the players without the grandeur of a major arena. It is a place where the focus remains on the court, shielded from the elements that define the island.
