Cordillera de Lípez

The Cordillera de Lípez is a mountain range in southern Potosí, Bolivia, and northern Argentina, part of the Andes. The range covers an area of 23,404 km (14, 543 mi) and runs in a northeast–southwest direction, between the parallels 22 degrees and 23 degrees, helping to form the boundary between Bolivia and Argentina. Thus the Cordillera de Lípez is a transverse range in the Andes, between the Cordillera Oriental and the Cordillera Occidental, creating the southern boundary of the Bolivian Altiplano. The highest peak is Uturunku at 6,008 m (19, 711 ft). Other important peaks are Cerro Lípez (5, 933 m) sometimes misidentified[1] as Nuevo Mundo (5, 438 m); Soniquera (5, 899 m) (sometimes misspelled as Soreguera); and Tinte (5, 849 m) which is on the Bolivian-Argentine border. Despite the high elevations, there is no current glacier activity in the Cordillera de Lípez, just some semi-permanent snow fields.

Location: Bolivia.
