The Kunturiri (in Aymara kunturi condor, Hispanicized spelling Condoriri) is a volcano in the Andes on the border of Bolivia and Chile, which rises 5,762 m.a.s.l. The Kunturiri complex is made up of three separate stratovolcanoes, generated by both effusive and explosive eruptions. The ascent is moderately difficult and prior acclimatization to the altitude is recommended.
