Cerro Colorado is a stratovolcano that lies in northern Chile about 7 km (4 mi) west of the border with Bolivia and approximately the same distance southwest of the Putana Volcano. Cerro Colorado is located immediately west of Cerro Curiquinca and northwest of volcán Escalante (El Apagado); all three mountains are considered to be part of the Sairecabur volcanic group.
