The 'Chilean Coast Range' () is a mountain range that runs southward parallel with the Andean Mountains, from the morro de Arica to the Taitao Peninsula where it ends together with the Nazca Plate. The highest peak of the range is the Sierra Vicuña Mackena reaching up to 3000 m. Even if its origin is unknown, it is well accepted between geologists that it is older than the Andes. The Chilean Coast Range does not show any sign of volcanic activity.
The range can be divided in several minor ranges. Some of these ranges are:

★ Nahuelbuta Range

★ Valdivian Coastal Range

★ Pelada Range

★ Pirulil Range
