Puyehue-Cordón Caulle, Stratovolcano in Los Ríos Region, Chile.
The Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex consists of four volcanoes with an elevation reaching 2,236 meters in the Southern Andes mountain range.
The 1960 Great Chilean Earthquake triggered a significant eruption at Puyehue-Cordón Caulle, marking a connection between seismic and volcanic activities.
The name Puyehue originates from Mapudungun language, translating to 'place of small fishes', reflecting the indigenous connection to this volcanic territory.
Visitors can access the volcano through Route 215-CH from Fundo El Caulle, with designated paths leading to observation points and geothermal areas.
The complex features extensive geothermal systems with temperatures reaching 340°C in vapor systems, making it a primary location for thermal energy research.
