Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Santiago, Cerro
A group of scoria cones and low-elevation edifices surrounds the city of Jutiapa in SE Guatemala. This photo shows Volcán Culma, a cone largely composed of basaltic lavas on the eastern side of the city. The most prominent feature of the volcanic field is Cerro Santiago, one of two coalescing scoria cones SE of Jutiapa. Photo by Giuseppina Kysar, 1999 (Smithsonian Institution).

A cluster of cinder cones and low shield volcanoes surrounds the city of Jutiapa in SE Guatemala. The most prominent is Cerro Santiago, one of two coalescing cinder cones capping a shield SE of the city. Youthful flows from the twin Los Cerritos cones NE of Jutiapa cross the Interamerican Highway. Volcán Culma forms a steep-sided basaltic lava mound immediately E of the city. To the W lies Cerro Gordo (referred to as Amayo by Williams et al., 1964), a craterless cinder cone surrounded by basaltic lava flows. It is one of several cinder cones to have produced lava flows that cover the area between Jutiapa and Tertiary volcanic hills to the S.
