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.
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]
In 2017 Caleta Chaihuín had a population of 156 inhabitants up from 36 in 2002. [1] [9]
The rural district of Chaihuín encompasses a larger area than the hamlet itself. Its population has grown from 206 in 1920 to over 800. [10]
