Chela is a volcano in Chile that was active between 3.75±0.5 and 4.11±0.25 million years ago.

It is constructed on top of the 5.4±0.3 million years old rhyolitic Carcote ignimbrite.

[1][2] The volcano was degraded by glaciation but radial ridges and red-gray rocks as well as the uniform slopes indicate that it was a symmetric stratovolcano.

[1] The Pleistocene snow line was located at 4,800 metres (15,700 ft) altitude[3] and moraines formed on the northern, western and southern flanks.

[4] Cerro Chela is located south of Aucanquilcha, from which it is separated by the Portezuelo Puquíos.
