Caleta Chaihuín (Chaihuín) is a coastal hamlet (Spanish: caserío) and rural district in the commune of Corral, Los Ríos Region, Chile.[2] It lies at the mouth of Chaihuín River that flows from the Valdivian Coast Range to the Pacific Ocean. Silt from the river combined with the prevailing coastal current have formed a barrier-bar across the cove creating an estuary.[3][4] The administration and main entrance to the Valdivian Coastal Reserve lies in Chaihuín.
History
The indigenous inhabitants of the area are Huilliche people.[5]
During the early 1970s Chaihuín was considered a hot-bed of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), but with limited actual anti-government activity.[6][7]
In 2010 a new ferry service from the town of Corral was inaugurated.[8]
Demographics
The rural district of Chaihuín encompasses a larger area than the hamlet itself. Its population has grown from 206 in 1920 to over 800.[9]
