Aguas Calientes and Puyehue Hot springs also form part of this volcanic group.^[1] The complex encompasses 380 km² and to the west is bordered by the lakes Puyehue and Rupanco.

A great portion of the Antillanca Group lies within Puyehue National Park. The complex is neighbor of the volcanoes Puyehue, Cordón Caulle, Puntiagudo and Osorno.
