A landslide caused by torrential rain has killed at least five people in southern Chile and has destroyed dozens of houses.<\/p>\n

Fifteen people are missing in the remote village of Villa Santa Luc\u00eda in the country’s lake region, popular with tourists.<\/p>\n

President Michelle Bachelet has declared a state of emergency in the area.<\/p>\n

Thousands remain without electricity and cut off from the rest of Chile.<\/p>\n

“I have ordered rescue workers to put all the resources necessary towards protecting the people of Villa Santa Lucia,” said Ms Bachelet.<\/p>\n

Part of the valley where the village lies, some 1,100km (690 miles) south of the capital, Santiago, was engulfed by a huge amount of mud from surrounding mountains.<\/p>\n

Local media reported that the region had experienced unusually heavy rain for the previous 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Dozens of people have been airlifted and taken to the neighbouring town of Chait\u00e9n.<\/p>\n

Rescue teams are searching for survivors.<\/p>\n

The village is near Corcovado National Park, popular with tourists for its volcanoes, fjords and forests.<\/p>\n

The mudslide happened on Saturday morning, on the eve of the\u00a0run-off election to choose Chile’s next president.<\/p>\n

The authorities say the vote is going ahead as planned.<\/p>\n

Some 14 million Chileans are eligible choose between the centre-right candidate, Sebasti\u00e1n Pi\u00f1era, and Alejandro Guillier, who is endorsed by Ms Bachelet.<\/p>\n
