Kimsa Chata (Bolivia-Chile)
Kimsa Chata or Kimsachata (Aymara and Quechua kimsa three, Pukina chata mountain, "three mountains", Hispanicized Quimsa Chata, Quimsachata) is an 8 km-long volcanic complex on a north–south alignment along the border between Bolivia and Chile, overseeing Chungara Lake. It contains three peaks, all stratovolcanoes. The group is formed - from north to south - by Umurata (5730 m), Acotango (6052 m) and Capurata (5990 m) (also known as Cerro Elena Capurata). The active volcano Guallatiri (Wallatiri) west of Capurata is sometimes considered part of the group.
