The Cordillera de LÃÂpez is a mountain range in southern PotosÃÂ, Bolivia, and northern Argentina, part of the Andes. The range covers an area of and runs in a northeastâÂÂsouthwest direction, between the parallels 22 degrees and 23 degrees, helping to form the boundary between Bolivia and Argentina. Thus the Cordillera de LÃÂpez is a transverse range in the Andes, between the Cordillera Oriental and the Cordillera Occidental, creating the southern boundary of the Bolivian Altiplano.
The highest peak is Uturunku at . Other important peaks are Cerro LÃÂpez (5,933 m) sometimes misidentified as Nuevo Mundo (5,438 m); Soniquera (5,899 m) (sometimes misspelled as Soreguera); and Tinte (5,849 m) which is on the Bolivian-Argentine border. Despite the high elevations, there is no current glacier activity in the Cordillera de LÃÂpez, just some semi-permanent snow fields.
