Malargüe's Volcanic Wonders

Malargüe is home to one of the world's highest concentrations of volcanoes, primarily within the La Payunia Provincial Reserve. This list features the massive Payún Matrú shield volcano and the symmetrical Payún Liso stratovolcano. It also highlights unique geological formations like the hydromagmatic Cerro Malacara and the eroded sedimentary walls of Castillos de Pincheira. These sites showcase the region's diverse volcanic activity, from vast basaltic fields to active border peaks like Planchón-Peteroa.
