Tinguiririca Volcano, Stratovolcano in O'Higgins Region, Chile

The Tinguiririca Volcano rises to 4,280 meters above sea level, forming a symmetrical cone shape within the Andes mountain range of central Chile.

The volcano gained international attention in 1972 when Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed nearby, leading to a 72-day survival story in the mountains.

Local mountaineers and geologists regularly visit the volcano to study its geological formations and monitor the continuous fumarolic activity at its summit.

Access to Tinguiririca requires proper climbing equipment and guidance, with the city of San Fernando serving as the main starting point for expeditions.

The western flanks of Tinguiririca feature multiple hot springs and fumaroles, creating distinct geological phenomena that attract researchers and thermal enthusiasts.
