# Cerro Columa

Cerro Columa, or Cerro Colluma, is a crater in Bolivia. In 1964 it was considered to be a crater formed by $volcanism.^{:31}$ Its rims reach an altitude of 3,820 metres (12,530 ft) and in the crater lies a playa lake. The crater has dimensions of 6–6.7 kilometres (3.7–4.2 $mi).^{:32}$ The crater was most likely formed by the collapse of a sediment dome, an origin as a meteorite crater is less $likely.^{:38}$

The crater lies on a poorly vegetated desert plain that slopes to Salar de $Coipasa.^{:31}$ The surrounding plain has an altitude of 3,830 metres (12,570 ft) and was covered by Lake Minchin during the $Pleistocene.^{:32}$
