Volcán Maipo, Stratovolcano in the Andes Mountains, Chile-Argentina border
The volcano rises 5,264 meters above sea level, featuring a symmetrical cone shape with lava flows and pyroclastic deposits on its slopes.
The volcano's eruption in 1826 created Diamante Lake near its summit, marking a significant geological event in the region's natural history.
Indigenous communities of the Andes have incorporated the volcano into their traditional stories and environmental knowledge for generations.
Mountain climbers need specialized equipment and acclimatization time to reach the summit due to extreme weather conditions and high altitude.
The volcano functions as both a natural border marker between Chile and Argentina and a water source for the Maipo River basin.
