Yes. But mostly in the north of the country. They were a minor group though. Because Chile wasn't a rich country like Peru, slaves were too expensive to buy and families that could afford them usually have them as house slaves more than fields slaves, except in the north. Also, they were usually bought by convents , who teach them to read and them sell them to a higher price. The minor population, became even more small after the freedom of womb law in 1812, that made children of slaves be free, so most of the slaves that were free now, leave the country and return home or move to Argentina.
