GEOSITIO

Avellano Towers (Torres del Avellano)

One of the most breathtaking geosites in the province of General Carrera is the Torres del Avellano.
Located in the upper area of the Avellano River, they can be accessed either from Bahía Murta or Lake Lapparent. Their stunning beauty results from a combination of striking magmatic massifs sculpted by ancient glaciers, along with a rich diversity of native flora and fauna.

What type of rock makes up the Torres del Avellano, and how old are they?
What glacial landforms can be seen in the area?

We hope to share more information about this geosite through the various community activities we’ll be organizing as part of the Chelenko Geopark Project.
