Río Negro, Administrative commune in Osorno Province, Chile

The municipality of Río Negro extends across 1,266 square kilometers of land between Osorno Province and the Pacific Ocean in southern Chile.

The territorial recognition of Río Negro occurred on March 12, 1896, when the foundation deed was registered in Puerto Montt with Pedro González as first mayor.

The Berry Festival takes place during the first weekend of February, gathering local farmers and artisans to showcase agricultural products and regional traditions.

The commune maintains several educational facilities, health centers, and police stations, serving a population of approximately 14,000 residents.

The territory was known by indigenous Huilliche people as Curileufo, referring to the dark waters of the river that flows through the region.
