Nevados de Chillán, Volcanic complex in Ñuble Region, Chile

The Nevados de Chillán comprises three main stratovolcanoes reaching heights of 3,212 meters, with Cerro Blanco standing as the highest peak in the range.

The volcanic complex underwent significant changes between 1906 and 1945 when the Volcán Nuevo emerged and grew taller than the previously dominant Volcán Viejo.

The Mapuche people of central Chile maintain traditional connections to these mountains, incorporating them into their spiritual practices and ceremonies.

The volcanic area contains multiple ski resorts with modern facilities, offering winter activities from June through September with access from the city of Chillán.

The complex features two distinct subcomplexes, Cerro Blanco and Las Termas, each containing multiple volcanic formations and geothermal springs.
