Casablanca, Stratovolcano in Los Lagos Region, Chile
Casablanca is a stratovolcano in the Los Lagos Region of southern Chile located about 90 kilometers east of Osorno. It stands as a prominent cone within the Southern Volcanic Zone of the Andes with a distinctive peaked silhouette.
After the last glacial period ended, multiple scoria cones formed around the volcano's basin shaping its current structure. This volcanic activity marked an important transition in the geological development of the Southern Volcanic Zone.
The Antillanca ski resort on the slopes of Casablanca volcano serves as a winter sports destination for regional and international visitors.
Visit during warmer months when weather is more stable and hiking conditions are safer for exploring the slopes. Bring sturdy footwear and layers, as conditions at elevation can shift quickly throughout the day.
The volcano contains a range of volcanic materials with varying mineral compositions from different eruption phases. This geological diversity offers insights into the complex magmatic processes that shaped the cone over time.
