Retiro, Rural town in Linares Province, Chile.
The town extends across 827 square kilometers of agricultural land between the cities of Linares and Parral in central Chile's Maule Region.
Established in 1891, Retiro gained significance when President Ramón Barros Luco selected this location for his personal manor house during his administration.
Local residents maintain traditional agricultural practices, focusing on wine production and cereal cultivation within the fertile Maule Valley environment.
The municipality connects to major transport routes via the Retiro train station, positioned 335 kilometers south of Santiago and 27 kilometers from Linares.
The southern section of Copihue contains Chile's largest poplar wood plantation, managed by the Compañía Chilena de Fósforos for match production.
