Apagado, Dormant volcano in Los Lagos Region, Chile

Volcán Apagado is a dormant volcano in the Andes within Los Lagos Region, featuring steep slopes covered by native plants. The landscape displays clear geological traces from past volcanic activity visible in its rock formations.

This volcano experienced multiple eruptions thousands of years ago that left substantial deposits scientists still document today. These past events shaped the geological structure of the surrounding mountain region.

The volcano's alternative name, Hualiaque, is the one used by local Mapuche-Huilliche communities of the Reloncaví area, while Apagado is the Spanish name recorded on maps. The cone rises on a peninsula between the Reloncaví Estuary, Reloncaví Sound and the Gulf of Ancud, a seascape that shapes how the surrounding villages orient themselves.

Check weather conditions before heading out, as rain and fog are common and can make trails difficult. Winter months present greater challenges, so many visitors come during warmer seasons instead.

Apagado is also called Hualiaque, and its summit crater is nearly intact, about 400 m wide. The cone rises on a peninsula between the Reloncaví Estuary, Reloncaví Sound and the Gulf of Ancud, 13 km west of Hornopirén Volcano and southwest of Yate Volcano.
