Quintupeu Fjord, Fjord in Los Lagos Region, Chile

Quintupeu Fjord lies in the Hualaihué commune of Chile's Los Lagos Region, at the eastern end of the Gulf of Ancud where the Cholgo channel meets the Comau Fjord, opposite the southern tip of Llancahué Island. It has a narrow entrance and steep walls rising to 600 metres, with large waterfalls. Alerces grow on the slopes, including specimens over 3,600 years old, alongside coihues, tepas, ulmos and lengas; the Yates and Hornopirén volcanoes are visible from the fjord. The surrounding land belongs to Pumalín National Park.

In 1915, during World War I, the German warship Dresden sought shelter in these waters while fleeing from British naval forces. This episode reflects the remote location's strategic importance during the global conflict.

The fjord lies in Hualaihué commune, and its name is used for the surrounding sector within Pumalín National Park. The German cruiser SMS Dresden hid here in February 1915, and the episode is retold in Martín Pérez Ibarra's novel Señales del Dresden and in María Teresa Parker de Bassi's book Tras la estela del Dresden (1987).

The fjord lies in the Hualaihué commune, at the southern tip of Llancahué Island where the Cholgo channel meets the Comau fjord, and is reached by boat; its entrance is narrow. The surrounding land belongs to Pumalín National Park, and the Yates and Hornopirén volcanoes can be seen from the water.

At the head of the fjord, the emerged Chilean mainland narrows to just 14.4 km between the Argentine border and the waters of the Reloncaví sound, one of the tightest points of the country's continental territory.
