Corral, Coastal commune in Los Rios Region, Chile
The port city of Corral extends along the Valdivia River mouth, featuring a bay protected by natural barriers and forested hills.
The Valdivian Fort System, established in 1645, transformed Corral into a military stronghold with defensive structures against pirates and foreign invasions.
The residents of Corral maintain maritime traditions through fishing practices, seafood gastronomy, and annual celebrations connected to their naval heritage.
Regular ferry services connect Corral to Niebla across the Valdivia River, with departures every 30 minutes during daylight hours.
South America's first steel mill operated in Corral from 1910, using local coal and iron deposits until its closure in 1958.
