Volcán Sacabaya (also known as Tambo Quemado or Cerro Quemado) is a low pyroclastic shield near the Rio Lauca on the Bolivian Altiplano 26 km from the border with Chile.
It is not known when it last erupted, but its very fresh morphology suggests a young (Holocene) age and there is fumarolic activity.

A pilot reported seeing an ash plume at flight level 170 (17,000 ft, 5 km) altitude today, but there are no other indications that an eruption took place and it could be a false eruption report as weather clouds can sometime easily be mistaken by ash plumes.
