Descabezado Grande (also Cerro Azul or Quizapu) is a stratovolcano located in the Maule Region of central Chile. It is capped by a ice-filled caldera and named for its flat-topped form, as descabezado means "headless" in Spanish. A smaller crater about wide is found in the northeast part of the caldera, and it has active fumaroles.
