Tipas, Complex volcano in western Argentina.
The Tipas volcano rises to an elevation of 6,660 meters and features multiple craters, cones, domes, and lava flows across its 25-square-kilometer area.
The last volcanic activity of Tipas occurred during the Pleistocene epoch, approximately 1.2 million years ago, marking a significant period in regional geological evolution.
The surrounding landscape near Tipas has served as a passage for indigenous communities who established trade routes through the Andean mountains.
Travelers planning to visit Tipas need to arrange transportation and supplies in advance due to the remote location and limited infrastructure in the area.
The volcano stands a few kilometers south of Nevados Ojos del Salado, maintaining similar geological characteristics to its neighboring volcanic formation.
