On Saturday, February 28, 2026, President of the Republic Gabriel Boric Font boarded the Chilean Navy’s vessel Aquiles at the Molo de Abrigo in Valparaíso to begin a voyage to the Juan Fernández Archipelago. The visit, which will conclude on Monday, March 1, includes a series of official activities aimed at supporting local communities and public services.
During his stay, President Boric will lead the inauguration ceremony for the 2026 school year at the Robinson Crusoe School and officially launch the 2026 Vaccination and Immunization Campaign from the Juan Fernández Rural Health Center.
The President will be accompanied by the Minister of Education, Nicolás Cataldo; Senators Ricardo Lagos Weber and Juan Ignacio Latorre; and Deputy Nelson Venegas, reflecting the government’s commitment to education, health, and regional development in Chile’s remote territories.
This visit underscores the administration’s ongoing efforts to bring public programs and services closer to Chilean communities in isolated areas, ensuring equitable access to education and healthcare across the nation.
