Chile Chico (Spanish for Little Chile) is a town in General Carrera Province, Aisén Region, Patagonia, Chile. It is located on the south shore of General Carrera Lake. Chile Chico, which has around 3,000 inhabitants, is the eponymous capital of the commune and capital of the General Carrera Province of the Aysén Region.
The town is 6 km west of the border with Argentina and 8 km from the Argentine town of Los Antiguos, with which it is connected by a paved road. A car ferry connects the town with Puerto Ingeniero Ibáñez on the north shore of the lake.
Since 2017 Chile Chico has produced the world's southernmost wine. This wine is produced at the experimental vineyard of Undurraga that is part of Instituto de Investigación Agropecuaria.
Climate
Its rain shadow location gives Chile Chico a mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csb), unusually dry for its latitude with only half the rainfall of Balmaceda nearby and less than a tenth that received at many coastal locations in the Aisén region. Its moderate climate is sometimes compared to Middle Chile but is most similar to that of places like Sequim which lie in a similar westerly wind rain shadow. The record high is 36.4 C in January 2013 and the record low was -13.8 C in July 1982. |Jan record high C = 36.4 |Feb record high C = 34.0 |Mar record high C = 31.6 |Apr record high C = 28.5 |May record high C = 23.4 |Jun record high C = 19.4 |Jul record high C = 18.7 |Aug record high C = 19.9 |Sep record high C = 23.4 |Oct record high C = 26.4 |Nov record high C = 30.7 |Dec record high C = 33.2 |year record high C = 36.4 |Jan record low C = -1.9 |Feb record low C = -1.6 |Mar record low C = -4.8 |Apr record low C = -6.5 |May record low C = -9.0 |Jun record low C = -11.4 |Jul record low C = -13.8 |Aug record low C = -12.6 |Sep record low C = -7.4 |Oct record low C = -6.2 |Nov record low C = -4.0 |Dec record low C = -3.2 |year record low C = -13.8 Tomo III | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120417142500/http://164.77.222.61/climatologia/publicaciones/Estadistica_ClimatologicaIII.pdf | archive-date = April 17, 2012 | url-status = dead | url-status = dead
