Volcán Huequi

The Huequi volcano rises 1,796 meters above sea level in southern Chile, featuring a complex system of lava domes within a depression.

In 1890, the volcano generated substantial ash and pumice falls that reached from the Chauques Islands to the territories of Argentina.

The local indigenous populations in the Los Lagos region maintain traditional practices connected to the volcanic landscapes that shape their environment.

Access to the volcano requires careful planning due to its location in the Gulf of Ancud, with departure points from Huequi Huinay or Caleta Gonzalo.

The volcano exhibits a distinctive gray needle-shaped peak that tilts toward the north, as documented in the 1924 Geographic Dictionary of Chile.
