Umurata, Mountain summit in Arica and Parinacota Region, Chile
Umurata stands at an elevation of 5,717 meters in the Cordillera Occidental range, forming part of the border between Chile and Bolivia.
Scientific research using argon-argon dating methods has determined that the rocks of Umurata formed approximately 970,000 years ago during volcanic activity.
The mountain peak serves as a natural boundary marker between Chilean and Bolivian territories, representing centuries of territorial demarcation in the Andes.
Mountaineers accessing Umurata typically approach from National Route 4 near the Chungara-Tambo Quemado pass, which provides the most direct route.
Located between Uqi Uqini volcano and Acotango, Umurata features distinctive geological formations that mark different periods of Andean mountain development.
