Tata Sabaya, Stratovolcano summit in Western Cordillera, Bolivia
Tata Sabaya rises 5,430 meters above sea level, featuring five distinct lava flows that extend up to 2 kilometers from its prominent peak.
The volcano experienced a substantial southern flank collapse approximately 12,000 years ago, depositing 6 cubic kilometers of material into ancient Lake Coipasa.
Local communities refer to the mountain as 'Father Sabaya', incorporating its presence into traditional ceremonies and regional mountain-related rituals.
The mountain requires advanced preparation for climbing, with access through nearby towns and recommended visits between May and September for optimal weather conditions.
The slopes of Tata Sabaya contain Polylepis tarapacana trees, which form the highest elevation woodland communities documented on Earth.
