Antillanca is the name of a group of stratovolcanoes , cinder cones , and maars that has an area of about 380 square kilometers. It is located southeast of Lake Puyehue and northeast of Lake Rupanco in the central Chilean part of the Andes . The most impressive crater of the volcanic group is the 1990 m high Casablanca . In the only two known large explosive eruptions around 2260 and 2910 years ago, it emitted around two cubic kilometers of tephra each . Hot spring areas are located in various locations in the southwest of the area.
Much of the Antillanca group is located in the Puyehue National Park . The Puyehue-Cordón Caulle , Puntiagudo and Osorno volcanoes are in the immediate vicinity .
