Cerro Colorados is a mountain in the Andes, at the border of Argentina and Chile.[5] It has a height of 6,080 metres (19,950 ft). It and the neighbouring peak of Vallecitos lie in a very remote area west of the Salar de Antofalla and were not climbed until 1999.[6] Its slopes are shared between the territory of the Argentinean province of Catamarca (commune of Antofagasta de la Sierra) and the Chilean province of Chañaral (commune of Diego de Almagro).[7][8]
