The lava flow in the foreground was erupted in 1722 from San Marcelino, the scoria cone to the right. The 13-km-long Teixcal lava flow traveled to the east and destroyed San Juan Tecpan village. The flow originated from two vents on opposite sides of San Marcelino. Cerro Chino is to the left of San Marcelino and is the central of three scoria cones along a SW trend from San Marcelino to La Olla.
