Ojos del Salado

Straddling the border between Chile and Argentina, Ojos del Salado is the highest active volcano in the world. As it towers to an awe-inspiring 6,893 meters, this also makes it the second-highest mount in the whole of the Americas behind Aconcagua in Argentina.

Due to its proximity to the Atacama Desert, its surroundings are very desolate, with only ancient lava fields and steaming fumaroles on display. Meaning ‘Snowy Salty Eyes’ in Spanish, the volcano was so named due to the snow that coats its peaks in winter and the salty lakes that dot its bare slopes. Majestic to gaze upon, Ojos del Salado is definitely one of the Andes’ most amazing volcanoes.

Lonquimay

Overlooking rambling foothills and fertile fields and farmland, Lonquimay is set in a scenic spot within Malalcahuello National Reserve. Reaching a maximum height of 2,865 meters, the snow-capped stratovolcano looms over its surroundings with a stunning crater at its summit.

It last erupted unexpectedly on Christmas day 1988, when a new vent – now fittingly known as Christmas Crater – opened up. Lonquimay is a popular place to go hiking, skiing, and rock climbing. On a clear day, you can spy up to 14 volcanoes rearing up against the sky, off in the distance.

Puyehue

Lying within the gorgeous national park of the same name, the 2,236-meter-high Puyehue presides over devastated and destroyed landscapes that were caused by its violent eruption in 1960.

The spectacular stratovolcano is often referred to as Puyehue-Cordon Caulle because, over the millennia, the two coalesced, forming one huge and hulking volcanic massif. A number of craggy calderas and craters can be found scattered around them, with cinder cones and lava domes also on show.

Exploring the sizeable volcanic complex is an amazing experience, and Puyehue’s prominent peak is the standout feature. Besides all this, the surrounding park has lush forests and bubbling hot springs for visitors to check out, as well as fantastic hiking, rock climbing, and skiing on offer.

Quetrupillan

Formed thousands upon thousands of years ago atop older stratovolcanoes and calderas, Quetrupillán sprawls over a large area within the Villarrica National Park. Nestled between the prominent volcanic peaks of Villarrica and Lanin, it boasts a beautiful seven-kilometer wide crater, with another smaller one found near its summit.

In addition to its sadly shrinking glaciers, the 2,360-meter-high mount is also home to some impressive lava domes and crumbling cinder cones. Although often overlooked in favor of its two neighbors, Quetrupillán is blessed with some wonderful scenery, with the rocky outcrop above its crater looking particularly arresting.

Lascar

Towering to a colossal 5,592 meters in height, Lascar lies in the Central Volcanic Zone, one of the highest and driest volcanic settings on the planet. As such, the area surrounding the stratovolcano is very arid and dry, with only sparse shrubs to be found on its lower slopes.

Made up of two different cones, the mighty mount sports a number of steaming summit craters and is set atop a massive ridge. This connects it to other lofty peaks and lava domes, with the Atacama Desert lying not far away.

Located just a stone’s throw away from the border with Bolivia and Argentina, it is Lascar’s bleak and unforgiving environment that makes it so memorable to visit and explore.

Licancabur

Located on the border between Bolivia and Chile, Licancabur towers imperiously above the arid and desolate Atacama Desert that surrounds it. As it reaches a staggering 5,916 meters in height, its higher realms often receive snowfall, which melts runs into Licancabur Lake – one of the highest lakes on Earth.

Below its glittering summit crater lake are steep and unstable slopes scarred by ancient lava flows. This makes it quite tough and treacherous to climb, although the views from its summit are undoubtedly phenomenal.

Considered to be sacred by the Atacameno people, Licancabur certainly makes for a majestic sight, particularly when viewed from across the sparkling waters of the nearby Laguna Verde.
