Gross bookings per Chaitén listing averaged CLP 5,054,277 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Los Lagos Region average: CLP 4,912,525), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Chaitén listing brings in CLP 1,310,000 in February, its best month, and CLP 399,000 in August, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 40% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Chaitén Airbnb took in CLP 5,054,277 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about CLP 8,815,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 553,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

Permits
7% of the 89 active listings in Chaitén display a registration, permit or license number. A low share doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Chaitén.
