Antilhue is a village (Spanish: aldea) in Chile, South America. It is located in the commune of Los Lagos on the shores of Calle-Calle River just east of Valdivia. Two petroleum-fueled power plants, Antilhue I and Antilhue II, with a combined production capacity of 101.3 MW, are located near the village.
Antihue is linked to other places by its railway which is a notable part of the village. With this railway the economy and social development of Antihue grew.[1] One of the most popular sites to see in Antihue is the El Valdiviano which is a steam train that gives a 28km journey from Valdivia through other station like Huellelhue, and Pishuinco and then arriving at Antilhue. El Valdiviano can hold 390 passengers and has a dining car. It offers a comfortable experience for tourists.
