Osorno Volcano Cone View

A Nearly Perfect Cone

This camera watches over the cone of Osorno Volcano, a 2,652-meter stratovolcano so symmetrical it is often likened to Mount Fuji or Mount Rainier. Its glacier-mantled slopes rise sharply above the surrounding forests of Chile's Lake District, making it one of the most photographed peaks in the southern Andes.

Operated From the Centro de Ski Volcán Osorno

The feed is mounted at the Centro de Ski Volcán Osorno, a small mountain resort built directly on the volcano's northern flank. From here, skiers and hikers get a rare, close-up angle on the summit crater that few other vantage points in the region can match.

Glaciers, Forests and Two Great Lakes

Osorno's upper reaches carry several permanent glaciers, feeding meltwater toward the native Valdivian temperate rainforest at its base. The volcano sits between two of Chile's largest lakes, Llanquihue and Todos los Santos, whose waters mirror its conical silhouette.

Inside Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park

The volcano anchors Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, Chile's oldest protected area, established in 1926. Alongside neighboring Puntiagudo and Calbuco, Osorno forms part of a dramatic volcanic chain that defines the landscape of the Los Lagos region.
