Cerro Cañapa is an elongated mountain in Bolivia close to the border with Chile. Note that the international border in this area is a straight line that runs from Cerro Araral to Ollagüe, leaving Cerro Cañapa completely in Bolivian territory.
The mountain forms an enormous backdrop to the colorful lakes Cañapa and Hedionda.
