Cerros de Incahuasi is a mountain with several summits located in the Antofagasta Region of Chile, near Sico Pass. The present–day mountain is the result of the partial collapse of an ancient volcanic edifice.[4]
The Incahuasi Sur volcano in this range was active 10.5 million years ago. It is associated with a volcanic belt and fault that extends southeastward from Incahuasi Sur, the Calama–Olacapato–El Toro fault.[5]
