Sollipulli, Dormant volcano in La Araucanía Region, Chile.
Description
Sollipulli is a dormant volcano in La Araucanía Region featuring a caldera roughly four kilometers across. Inside this volcanic depression sits a glacier positioned at 2,282 meters in elevation.
History
The most recent activity occurred roughly 710 years ago when the Chufquén scoria cone formed along the volcano's outer flanks. This marked the end of a period of eruptions.
Culture
The name comes from the Mapuche language and means 'reddish mountain', reflecting how indigenous peoples saw and named this natural feature. Locals and visitors today notice the connection between the landscape's appearance and its original meaning.
Practical
Reaching this site requires mountaineering gear and an experienced guide due to challenging terrain and thick ice coverage. The combination of volcanic rock and glacial conditions creates a technically demanding environment.
