Tubul River
Tubul River is a river of the Bío Bío Region of Chile. Where the river reaches the Pacific Ocean stands the small fishing village of .
The coastline near the egress of the river is cliff-lined and hilly. Prior to 1835, the lower mile of the river was navigable. An earthquake in that year temporarily blocked off the river by raising the sand bar.[1] In 2010 nearby Concepción was struck by a magnitude 8.8 earthquake. Multiple waves generated by the earthquake, arriving from both the ocean and the river, struck and nearly destroyed the village of Tubul.[2]
