Cerro Paniri, Stratovolcano in Antofagasta Region, Chile.
Cerro Paniri rises to an elevation of 5,960 meters with three distinct craters and preserved lava flows on its south-southwest flanks.
Archaeological discoveries from 1972 revealed Inka ceremonial structures at the summit, indicating early human presence on the mountain.
The mountain holds sacred status for the residents of Ayquina village, reflecting deep connections between local communities and the landscape.
Access to the volcano requires navigation through dirt roads around its northern and western flanks, with nearby towns Cupo and Turi serving as entry points.
The crater lake at Paniri contained the fairy shrimp Branchinecta brushi, marking the highest altitude discovery of crustaceans in the world.
