Putana (also known as Jorqencal or Machuca) is a stratovolcano on the border between Bolivia and Chile. It lies immediately NNE of Cerro Colorado, about 6 km (4 mi) north of Volcán Escalante, the northernmost member of the Sairecabur complex and 14 km (9 mi) south of the complex. Intense fumarolic activity occurs at its summit, and a solfatara (see fumarole) can be observed in the main crater.
