The Callaqui is a 3164 m high stratovolcano in the Andes Patagonia in the Región del Bío-Bío in the south of Chile . The heavily glaciated basalt andesite cone is located about 80 kilometers southeast of the city of Los Ángeles in the volcanically very active area of the South American Cordillera . There it expands in a northeast-southwest direction along an approximately 11 km long fault line, along which several ash cones and lava flows have formed over time.
Most of the volcanic activity of the Callaqui so far has been fumaroles . Higher activity was recorded in 1751, 1864 and 1937; the last eruption was a weaker phreatic eruption in 1980.
