"El Volcán" Village

Going up by the highway G-25, 80 km. far from Santiago and 65 km. far from San José de Maipo, we reach to this village which was created at the year 1874, it came to be as a result of the development of crafty copper mining of the ores found at this mountainous region.

It also was the terminus of the military railroad which crossed this canyon from "Puente Alto" to "El Volcán" giving freight and passengers transport services when the road was jus a path.

Once it was a pushing and noisy village full of miners and activity, now its main attractive is its quiet peace, being far away from very populated urban centers offers a placid and relaxing mountain country environment with enough comfort to have a reviving rest. Its natural surroundings are suitable to experience mountain sports, horse rides and hiking or simply strolling around.

The name of this village is taken from Volcán River at which shore it is located, this river receives that name because it is born at the volcano called "Volcán San José", it is possible to go to the volcano with no risk by emotionating waking or horse back expeditions.
