Cerro Colorado

Cerro Colorado rises to 5,748 meters in elevation, forming part of the Sairecabur volcanic group alongside Cerro Curiquinca and Volcan Escalante.

The volcano has experienced multiple eruption cycles throughout the twentieth century, contributing substantially to regional geological research and understanding.

Local agricultural communities in the surrounding area maintain traditional farming practices, benefiting from the mineral-rich volcanic soil deposits.

Access to Cerro Colorado requires careful route planning and weather monitoring, with limited facilities and services available near the volcano.

The mountain stands 7 kilometers from both the Bolivian border and Putana Volcano, creating a natural boundary marker between these volcanic territories.
