Tralcán, Mountain summit near Riñihue Lake, Chile
Standing at 1,024 meters, Tralcán summit rises west of Riñihue Lake within the Valdivia Province of Chile's Andes mountain range.
The mountain gained prominence during the 1960 Valdivia earthquake when massive landslides from its slopes created a natural dam at Riñihue Lake.
The name Tralcán originates from Mapudungun, the language of indigenous peoples, translating to 'thunder' and holding deep meaning for Huilliche communities.
Access to Tralcán requires careful planning due to varying weather conditions, with multiple hiking routes available from the surrounding Riñihue Lake area.
The mountain contains rare fossiliferous sequences from the Triassic period, forming part of what geologists named the Tralcán Formation.
