Nevado Firura

Together with Sara Sara, Solimana and Coropuna it forms one of the Central Andean volcanoes. It is in the Andes, north of the Pucuncho Basin. Description Two domes form the Firura volcano, which has a low relief of . Lava flows and stratovolcanoes form a long field. Aside from the main summit Firura, there also are Soncco Orcco (), Jahsaya () and separating Firura from Solimana Antapuna (). The complex has generated basaltic or basaltic andesite lava flows that reach down into inhabited areas, as well as an ignimbrite resulting from the collapse of the ancient crater. A collapse of the crater was also responsible for the formation of a landslide dam in the Cotahuasi River valley. The date of the last volcanic activity is Pleistocene to Holocene, but it does not appear to be a significant hazard. Much of the southern side of the volcano above altitude is ...
