Pular is a massive stratovolcano located in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile, about 15 km west of the border with Argentina, which in this area is a straight line between the summits of Socompa volcano and ''Cerro del Rincón''. Pular, along with ''Cerro Pajonales'', forms a high volcanic ridge, which runs in a generally north-east to south-west direction for . Southward, following the same direction as the ridge, lies Socompa volcano. The ridge's crest forms a drainage divide between Salar de Atacama basin and ''Salar de Pular'' basin. This latter is a bowl-shaped basin enclosed on the east by Aracar volcano. In the Kunza language Pular means "The Eyebrow".〔Humberto Barrera, "Cerro Pular", ''American Alpine Journal'', 1974, p. 194.
