El Altar
Es este volcán visitado especialmente por la presencia de una variedad de lagunas como la Amarilla, Quindecocha, Estrellada, Verde, Azul, Mandur, Pintada, entre otras que se hallan a los pies de El Altar; el color de muchas de ellas es resultado de la presencia de minerales derivados de las paredes volcánicas. Además, como es una elevación semi-desértica debido a su altitud y a lo agreste del terreno circundante, la cumbre que sube al cráter de hielo puede ser ascendida en dos días. Existe un refugio para poder pasar la noche.
