Cerro Miscanti (also known as Ipira[4]) is a mountain of volcanic origin located in the Antofagasta Region of Chile, immediately south of Chiliques and north of Miñiques.

Rock samples from Cerro Miscanti are of andesitic composition,[5] but andesite-containing dacites have also been found.

[6] The edifice covers an area of 38 square kilometres (15 sq mi) and bears traces of a westward collapse, which exposed the internal sector of the volcano.

Renewed eruptions are likely to consist of lava flows, which could impact the northern shores of Laguna Miscanti.

[7] An Inka sanctuary has been reported from Cerro Miscanti.
