Tromen

The Tromen volcano reaches 4,114 meters in elevation and features a main crater measuring 500 meters wide with nine smaller cinder cones around it.

The volcano's last recorded eruptions occurred in 1751 and 1822, with geological studies indicating both effusive and explosive eruptions throughout its formation period.

The Mapuche and Pehuenche indigenous communities named this mountain Tomen and Punmahuida, reflecting their deep connection to the volcanic landscape.

Visitors need sturdy boots for walking on sharp volcanic rocks and should prepare for rapid weather changes typical of high-altitude Andean environments.

The Laguna del Tromen at the volcano's base contains acidic water and serves as a protected nesting ground for numerous waterfowl species.
