Quetrupillán, Stratovolcano in Los Ríos Region, Chile.

Quetrupillán rises to 2,360 meters above sea level between Villarrica and Lanín volcanoes, featuring two snow-covered summits within Villarrica National Park.

The volcano experienced its most substantial eruption 1,650 years ago, producing extensive deposits and a massive eruption column that affected the surrounding landscape.

The Mapuche people consider this mountain sacred in their mythology, referring to it as Pillan and incorporating it into their traditional narratives.

Visitors can access the volcano through hiking trails from the towns of Catripulli, Currarehue, or Puesco, with guided tours available from local operators.

The volcanic structure contains multiple subsidiary vents, lava domes, and two notable lakes on its southern flank: Laguna Azul and Laguna Blanca.
