The main settlement on Robinson Crusoe Island, San Juan Bautista sits at Cumberland Bay on the island's northeastern coast, with mountains rising close behind and scenic viewpoints in the surrounding terrain. The town's life revolves around the spiny lobster trade, and its pace remains unhurried. Above the village, Las Cuevas de los Patriotas mark where 42 Chilean independence activists — including Juan Egaña and Manuel de Salas — were exiled by Spanish authorities after the Battle of Rancagua in 1814.
