Huequi (Spanish pronunciation: [weki]) is a stratovolcano located in Los Lagos Region of Chile. It lies at the centre of Ayacara Peninsula and close to the Gulf of Ancud.[1] It has an elevation of 1,318 metres (4,324 ft) with a sharp summit and reportedly "smoked" in the 1950s[2] and is made up from a lava dome complex situated in a depression of unclear origin, a postglacial lava dome Calle and a Pleistocene Porcelana volcano with Holocene parasitic cones.[3][4]

El volcán Huequi se compone de un conjunto de domos y depósitos piroclásticos asociados, estos últimos generados probablemente por el colapso de los domos activos aunque también se reconocen depósitos de caída y de avalancha. Se emplaza en el centro de la península de Ayacara, Chiloé Continental, sitio remoto y de difícil acceso por vía terrestre.
