Cerro Capurata

Cerro Capurata, also known as "Elena Capurata" or "Quimsachatas" is a stratovolcano in the Andes of Bolivia and Chile. Capurata is covered with ice. To the south of Capurata lies Cerro Casparata and straight west Guallatiri.
Compared to Acotango and Humurata, Capurata's rocks are relatively well preserved. Some hydrothermal alteration, partly associated with fumarolic activity, is present however. The total volume of the edifice is . Sulfur deposits formed by solfataras are also found on Capurata.
Incan Ruins.
Capurata has a 10x5 metre ruin sitting on the top, towards north side. The structure is probably incan and it was photographed by Pedro Hauck during his last ascent in 2014. The ruin is ofter buried under snow during winter.
First Ascent.
A light party of the Club Andino de Chile, Sección Santiago, made the first ascent of this snow volcano (19,653 feet) on the Chilean-Bolivian border. Police Captain Pedro Rosendo and Ignacio Morlans reached the top on October 7, 1967. After this, the fourth expedition of the club to this area, there remain unclimbed only the twin peaks of Pusupata and Umorata (both 5730 meters or 18,799 feet) and Larancagua (5830 meters or 19,128 feet).
Elevation.
It has an official height of 5990 metres, although two different expeditions have registered altitudes above 6000 meters using regular handheld GPS devices (6013 and 6014).
Based on the elevation provided by the available Digital elevation models SRTM (5,979m), SRTM2 (5,979 meters), ASTER (5,979 meters) and TanDEM-X 90m (6.019 meters) and one handheld GPS survey by Maximo Kausch on July 2013 when he measured 6013m.
The height of the nearest key col is 5,441 meters so its prominence is 570 meters. Capurata is listed as a mountain based on the Dominance system and its dominance is 9.48%. This information was obtained during a research by Suzanne Imber in 2014.
