Cerros de Incahuasi

The Cerros de Incahuasi reaches an elevation of 5,704 meters above sea level and features multiple peaks within the Andes mountain range.

The mountain formed through the partial destruction of an ancient volcanic structure, with the Incahuasi Sur section showing volcanic activity 10.5 million years ago.

The mountain sits along the Calama-Olacapato-El Toro fault line, representing a significant geological formation for scientific research in the Antofagasta Region.

The remote location requires careful preparation, specialized equipment, and consideration of the extreme altitude conditions when planning ascents to the summit.

The mountain contains varied geological compositions resulting from its volcanic origins, creating distinct formations throughout its multiple peaks.
