Kimsa Chata, Mountain summit in Ingavi Province, Bolivia

Kimsa Chata rises 4,735 meters above sea level in the Chilla-Kimsa Chata mountain range, southeast of Lake Titicaca's Wiñaymarka section.

The mountain has been a central location for indigenous ceremonies since pre-Columbian times, standing 15 kilometers south of the ancient Tiwanaku civilization site.

The name Kimsa Chata originates from Aymara and Quechua languages, translating to 'three mountains' and reflecting the indigenous linguistic heritage of the region.

Visitors need proper high-altitude gear and acclimatization before attempting to climb this mountain, as oxygen levels decrease significantly at 4,735 meters elevation.

The mountain serves as a geographical marker between Nasa Puqi to the north and Chuqi Ch'iwani to the south, with the Wakira River flowing through the valley.

GPS coordinates: -16.71133,-68.67440
