'''Pumiri''' is a {{convert|4862|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} [volcano](/source/volcano) in the [Andes](/source/Andes) that rises {{convert|1062|m}} above the surrounding terrain.<ref name="FrancisWells1988" /> The volcano is located in the [Oruro Department](/source/Oruro_Department), [Sabaya Province](/source/Sabaya_Province), northwest of the [Salar de Coipasa](/source/Salar_de_Coipasa).<ref name="JiménezCano2008" />

The volcano is formed from two volcanic cones. The younger of which may be of [Holocene](/source/Holocene) age and is constructed in the middle of a [caldera](/source/caldera) marked by a semilunar shape.<ref name="GeologischesJahrbuch" />{{rp|141}} Thanks to heavy erosion, lavas and eruption products are mostly found in peripheral parts of the edifice, while in the central area a deep-grounded crystalline core is exposed.<ref name="Mineralogie" />{{rp|150}} A breach {{convert|3.5|km}} wide and {{convert|5.5|km}} long with an [azimuth](/source/azimuth) of 139° lies in the volcano, whose summit has a maximum slope of 25°.<ref name="FrancisWells1988" /> The volcano forms a lineament with [Saxani](/source/Cerro_Saxani) and [Isluga](/source/Isluga).<ref name="Avila-Salinas1991" />

The [creek](/source/creek_(stream))s named Qhamiña ''(Camiña)'' and on the western side Waywasi ''(Guayhuase)'' originate on the volcano.<ref name="Billinghurst1893" />{{rp|101}} Sulfur deposits on the volcano were exploited by indigenous people.<ref name="Billinghurst1886" />{{rp|63}}
