Sierra Velluda, Pleistocene stratovolcano in Bío Bío Region, Chile.
Sierra Velluda rises to 3,585 meters with two main summits and stands as the highest mountain in Laguna del Laja National Park.
The volcano formation occurred in two phases, with the first stage 495,000 years ago creating 1.5 kilometers of breccia and lava flows.
The mountain serves as a central reference point for local communities and represents a significant landmark within the Chilean Andes range.
Access to Sierra Velluda begins at Los Barros, requiring specialized climbing equipment and a three-day schedule for a complete ascent.
Glacial erosion has exposed the ancient volcanic layers, revealing geological formations that span nearly half a million years.
