Caleta Chaihuín (Chaihuín) is a coastal hamlet (Template:Langx) and rural district in the commune of Corral, Los Ríos Region, Chile.[1] 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.[2][3] The administration and main entrance to the Valdivian Coastal Reserve lies in Chaihuín.

History

The indigenous inhabitants of the area are Huilliche people.[4]

During the early 1970s Chaihuín was considered a hot-bed of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), but with limited actual anti-government activity.[5][6]

In 2010 a new ferry service from the town of Corral was inaugurated.[7]
