The mountain is shared by two Andean countries

This incredible stratovolcano is located on the border between Bolivia and Chile. More than a third of the northeast slope belongs to Bolivia, from its foot at 4360 m to 5400 meters in height.

In Chilean territory, the volcano is located on the north side of the  Portezuelo del Cajón Pass and northeast of the Valley of the Moon and San Pedro de Atacama.

This emerald-colored mirrored lagoon is in the crater of the volcano and has an area of 0.5 hectares and a depth of between 5 and 6 meters. It is the fifth highest lake in the world and is a highlight on the way to the summit.
