Kimsa Chata or Kimsachata (Aymara and Quechua kimsa three,[1] Pukina chata mountain,[2] "three mountains", Hispanicized Quimsa Chata, Quimsachata) is an 80NaN0-long volcanic complex on a north–south alignment along the border between Bolivia and Chile, overseeing Chungara Lake. It contains three peaks, all stratovolcanoes.
The group is formed - from north to south - by Umurata (57300NaN0), Acotango (60520NaN0) and Capurata (59900NaN0) (also known as Cerro Elena Capurata). The active volcano Guallatiri (Wallatiri) west of Capurata is sometimes considered part of the group.
