Pocho volcanic field, Volcanic field in Córdoba Province, Argentina

The terrain contains numerous extinct volcanic structures spread across an arid region characterized by basalt formations and diverse geological features.

The volcanic field formed during the Miocene epoch, between 7 to 5 million years ago, when volcanic activity shaped the central Argentine landscape.

Local communities in the Córdoba region have adapted their agricultural practices and settlement patterns according to the volcanic terrain properties.

Visitors access the volcanic field through marked trails from Córdoba city, with multiple observation points offering views of the geological formations.

The field sits unusually far from the oceanic trench, at over 600 kilometers, while most volcanic belts form within 200-300 kilometers.
