Enquelga (in Aymara: place of ashes) is a Chilean town.[1] It is a highland Aymara town. It is located about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) south-southeast of Isluga, in the commune of Colchane, Tarapacá Region, Chile.[2] Two other smaller communities also belong to this town, Caraguano and Chapicollo. The town has several hot springs which connect to the Isluga River.[3]
