Cerro El Cóndor is a remote peak in the Argentine Puna de Atacama.

As such it was probably the last major 6000m+ peak in the Andes to be climbed,[2] with the summit reaching a height of 6,400 metres (21,000 ft).

The volcano has the form of a massif (which covers a surface of 281 square kilometres (108 sq mi)) constructed by two separate volcanoes; the older edifice forms parts of the northern and eastern flanks which are cut by scarps interpreted as caldera remnants.

[3] The summit region is formed by the newer edifice, and features a series of craters with diameters of 100–350 metres (330–1,150 ft) and a cover of pyroclastic material and scoria.

Presently, Cóndor is considered to be a dormant volcano with the potential of future activity, and while the remoteness of the volcano reduces any hazard potential future pyroclastic eruptions could impact air traffic over the region and east of it.
