Pululagua

Cerro Sincholagua (left) and Loma la Marca (right) are the southernmost of a group of lava domes pre-dating the formation of Pululagua's caldera. Seen here from the equator to their south, they are part of a chain of lava domes that were constructed on a roughly N-S line east of the caldera. Cerro Sincholagua forms the highest peak of 3356-m Pululagua volcano.
