Nevado Las Agujas (Spanish for The Snowy Needles) is a pyramidal peak in the Andes Mountains of Futrono, in Chile, close to the border with Argentina. With an elevation of 2,120 metres (6,960 ft; 1.32 mi), it has a prominence of 300 m (984 ft) above the surrounding terrain. Together with Cerro Chihuío, it forms the granitic mountain massif of Nevados Las Agujas, which geologically belongs to the Northern Patagonian Batholith.
