The Cerro Colluma (also: Cerro Columa ) is a maar in the Oruro department in the South American Andean state of Bolivia .

The Colluma crater has a diameter of three to four kilometers and rises about a hundred meters from the surrounding plain of the Altiplano . Due to the lack of precipitation in the region, the Colluma crater is not filled with water; Laguna Seca , a lake 600 meters long and 200 meters wide , is just north of the mountain range.

The Cerro Colluma is located in the district ( Bolivian : Municipio Corque ) in the province of Carangas , halfway between the villages of Huachacalla and Turco . The period of formation of the Cerro Colluma is not known, assumptions point to the Holocene .
