Tinguiririca is composed of at least seven Holocene scoria cones constructed along a N-S fissure over an eroded Pleistocene stratovolcano.  The central part of the chain from Tinguiririca to Fray Carlos is seen in this view.  Sulfur deposits are found on the western flanks of the summit cones.  A single historical eruption from Tinguiririca was recorded in 1917.      Photo by Oscar González-Ferrán (University of Chile).
