Cerro Columa, or Cerro Colluma, is a crater in Bolivia. In 1964 it was considered to be a crater formed by volcanism.[1]: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).[1]:32 The crater was most likely formed by the collapse of a sediment dome, an origin as a meteorite crater is less likely.[1]:38
