File:Sf-19-3-cerro paruma-bolivia-chile-1999.pdf Iru Phutunqu (Aymara iru spiny Peruvian feather grass, phutunqu a small vessel or a hole, pit, crater,[2] hispanicized spellings Iru Putuncu, Irruputuncu, Iruputuncu) is a stratovolcano on the border of Chile and Bolivia. The Chilean side is in the Tarapacá Region. The Bolivian side is in the Potosí Department, Nor Lípez Province, Quemes Municipality, southeast of the Salar de Uyuni salt flat.[3][4]

It is a relatively small peak, within the collapse scarp of a debris avalanche from earlier in the Holocene, which was built up by eruptions to fill much of that feature. There are two craters at the summit, with the one to the south displaying fumaroles. In 1995 its first eruption in recorded history occurred in the form of a phreatic eruption.[1]
