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 (4 mi) 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.[6][7][8] This wine is produced at the experimental vineyard of Undurraga that is part of Instituto de Investigación Agropecuaria.[7]
