Pishuinco is a very small community, often called a hamlet (which is like a tiny village), located in Chile. It is part of the Valdivia area, which is found in the Los Ríos Region.
Where is Pishuinco?
Pishuinco is located in the southern part of Chile. It sits at the northern end of the Calle-Calle River. This river is an important waterway in the region.
The hamlet is positioned between two other places: the city of Valdivia and a town called Antilhue. This means it's a small spot along the river, connecting these larger areas.
What is a Hamlet?
A hamlet is a very small settlement, even smaller than a village. It usually has only a few houses and buildings. Hamlets often do not have their own church or shops. People living in a hamlet usually travel to nearby villages or towns for services.
Pishuinco is an example of such a small community in Chile. In 2002, only 228 people lived there.
