Antofalla, Village in Antofagasta de la Sierra Department, Catamarca, Argentina

Antofalla is a remote locality in Catamarca Province, Argentina, situated at 3,500 meters elevation within mountainous terrain. The area is defined by salt flats and mineral deposits that shape its stark landscape.

Antofalla is the traditional land of an indigenous community of the Kolla Atacameño people, governed by a cacique and a council of elders. The road from Antofagasta de la Sierra, crossing the Abra de los Colorados at 4,667 m, was built in 1989. On 26 May 2012 Governor Lucía Corpacci inaugurated a 250 KVA generator, 750 metres of domestic power lines and connections for 37 users.

Antofalla is the traditional land of a Kolla Atacameño indigenous community, governed by a cacique as highest authority together with a council of elders that keeps ancestral traditions. The name comes from the Kunza language and means "pueblo where the sun dies". In the village chapel an inscription reads: "Some read books to find God; the beauty of creation is a great book."

Access from the departmental seat, Antofagasta de la Sierra, crosses the Abra de los Colorados pass at 4,667 m on a road built in 1989. Winter temperatures fall between -15 °C and -20 °C, and the school calendar runs from September to May to avoid the harshest months. The village has a local dining room where visitors can eat.

Antofalla sits beside the Salar de Antofalla, a salt flat at the foot of Antofalla volcano. The village is the traditional land of a Kolla Atacameño indigenous community, governed by a cacique and a council of elders. The 2010 census recorded 45 inhabitants, the same figure as in 2001.
