Domuyo

The Domuyo Volcano reaches an elevation of 4,709 meters and contains a 15-kilometer wide caldera with numerous dacite lava domes throughout its structure.

Father Lino del Valle Carvajal completed the first documented climb of Domuyo Volcano on November 15, 1903, marking the beginning of mountaineering activities.

The name originates from Mapuche language elements that refer to the mountain's geological characteristics of trembling and making rumbling sounds.

Access to Domuyo requires following National Route 40 from Chos Malal to provincial route 43, with consideration for seasonal road conditions.

The volcanic complex features an extensive geothermal field with multiple hot springs, fumaroles, and geysers, including the notable sites of Rincón de las Papas.
