Volcanoes in San Pedro de Atacama

Andean Volcanoes

This collection features the prominent stratovolcanoes and volcanic peaks of the Central Volcanic Zone in the Chilean Andes. Ranging from the active Láscar, known for frequent ash eruptions, to the iconic conical Licancabur on the Bolivian border, these formations define the high-altitude landscape of the Atacama region. The list includes several peaks exceeding 6,000 meters, such as Acamarachi, and the Zapaleri tripoint where the borders of Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina meet.
