Domuyo

The Domuyo Volcano is a stratovolcano located in the Argentine province of Neuquén. With a height of Template:Unit m, it is the highest mountain in Patagonia and is sometimes called the "Roof of Patagonia" ("El Techo de la Patagonia" in Spanish).

Its slopes contain many fumaroles, hot springs and geysers.

It names derives from the Mapuche meaning "To tremble and grumble", probably due to the geothermal activity of the volcano.

The volcano is accessible by the Argentine National Route 40 from Chos Malal, connecting with provincial route 43, passing by Andacollo.
