Hornopirén, Stratovolcano in Los Lagos Region, Chile

The Hornopirén reaches an elevation of 1,572 meters and extends its lava flows beyond the southwestern base of the mountain structure.

The volcanic formation has recorded activity dating back to 1835, marking a significant period in the geological development of the Los Lagos region.

The name combines Spanish word 'horno' meaning oven and Mapudungun word 'pirén' meaning snow, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the area.

Visitors can access the volcano through Hornopirén National Park, which encompasses 3,000 hectares of natural territory including glacier fields.

The volcano sits directly on the Liquiñe-Ofqui fault zone, creating specific geological conditions that influence its formation and behavior.
