== Geography and geomorphology ==
It is on the border of the Parinacota Province of Chile (Putre commune) and of the Bolivian province of Sajama (commune Turco).<ref name="Kausch" /> Compared to Acotango and Humurata, Capurata's rocks are relatively well preserved. Some hydrothermal alteration, partly associated with fumarolic activity, is present however.<ref name="WattsRibes2014" /> The total volume of the edifice is {{convert|19|km3}}<ref name="AravenaVillalon2015" /> and has been eroded by glaciers. The volcano is formed by lava domes, lava flows and pyroclastic flows.<ref name="GonzalezFerran1995">{{cite book |last1=Gonzalez Ferran |first1=O |title=Volcanes de Chile |date=1995 |publisher=Instituto Geografico Militar |page=122 |oclc=948099508 |language=Spanish}}</ref> Sulfur deposits formed by solfataras are also found on Capurata.<ref name="Avila-Salinas1991" /> The west side of the mountain is covered with snow and ice.<ref name="Ochsenius1986" /> Two crater depressions on the summit have an appearance that suggests a Holocene age.<ref name="GonzalezFerran1995" />
