Cabaray, Stratovolcano in Oruro Department, Bolivia.
Cabaray is a stratovolcano in the Oruro region that rises to 5,869 meters and sits between the volcanoes Isluga and Tata Sabaya in the Andes. The peak forms part of an active volcanic chain in this area of Bolivia.
Cabaray is a stratovolcano built up by successive eruptions of lava and ash, the typical growth process of a stratovolcano in the central Andes. The sources consulted give no dates for its formation or later activity, and record no eruptions. Its rocks are part of the volcanic chain that runs along the Bolivian-Chilean border.
Cabaray stands on Bolivia's western border with Chile, between Isluga and Tata Sabaya, in the Andes chain of the Oruro Department. The sources record no local traditions or ceremonies attached to the peak; its name is shared with the surrounding high-altitude puna landscape near the Chilean frontier.
Climbing this peak requires good physical fitness and time for altitude acclimatization due to the extreme elevation and remote setting. Visitors should bring appropriate gear and check local conditions before attempting the ascent.
Cabaray stands immediately east of the Chilean border, between Isluga and Tata Sabaya, in a stretch of the Andes where volcanoes line up along the frontier. Its summit reaches 5,869 m, so the peak is often seen from the Chilean side as well as from Bolivian Oruro Department.
