Puntiagudo-Cordón Cenizos, Stratovolcano in Llanquihue Province, Chile.

The Puntiagudo-Cordón Cenizos rises to 2,493 meters between Rupanco Lake and Todos los Santos Lake, featuring a sharp summit formed through glacial erosion.

The first successful climb of the volcano occurred in 1937 when Swiss mountaineer Hermann Hess and Chilean Rodolfo Roth reached the summit through Lake Todos Los Santos.

Local mountaineers consider this volcano among the most demanding peaks to climb in southern Chile, requiring extensive preparation and technical expertise.

Access to the volcano involves two primary routes: through Puntiagudo Valley or via the southeast shore of Lake Rupanco, with winter conditions providing better climbing surfaces.

The 1960 earthquake, measuring between 9.4 and 9.6 magnitude, modified the summit's shape, altering its originally more pointed appearance.
