Maipo is a stratovolcano in the Andes lying on the border between Argentina and Chile. It is located 90 km (56 mi) south of Tupungato and about 100 km (62 mi) southeast of Santiago. Maipo retains a symmetrical conical volcanic shape unlike many of the other nearby peaks making it the best known peak in the region though it is not the highest. (Nearby Castillo is 5485 m high.) Maipo is also almost the southernmost 5000 metre peak in the Andes.
