Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Jayu Khota, Laguna
The two maars of the Laguna Jayu Khota group in Bolivia are shown in this June 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 10 km across). The Laguna Jayu Khota maar is near the center of the image and the Nehke Khota maar is on the southern side of the road near the lower left corner.

Two small youthful-looking maars are located in the Central Altiplano of Bolivia, north of Salar de Uyuni and east of Salar de Coipasa. Laguna Jayu Khota, initially considered to be a meteorite impact crater, was formed by basaltic-trachyandesite explosive volcanism. Nekhe Khota maar lies 4 km SW of Jayu Khota; both were considered by de Silva and Francis (1991) to be of probable Holocene age. Phreatomagmatic eruptions produced basaltic-trachyandesite pyroclastic deposits containing granitic xenoliths. The maars lie along a transverse lineament; the alkali basaltic cone of Chiar Kkollu is located nearby where this lineament intersects the regional trend.
