Cerro Tuzgle, Stratovolcano in Susques Department, Jujuy Province, Argentina
Cerro Tuzgle rises to 5,486 meters above sea level, featuring prominent lava flows on its southwest and southeast slopes within the Puna plateau region.
The initial volcanic activity at Cerro Tuzgle began 650,000 years ago, producing the Tuzgle Ignimbrite formation followed by multiple lava dome eruptions.
The name Tuzgle derives from the Kunza language word meaning knoll, reflecting the indigenous peoples' observation of the mountain's configuration.
The volcano is accessible from Provincial Route 74, requiring high-altitude preparation and proper equipment for any exploration activities.
The mountain contains thermal springs with alkaline waters, presenting opportunities for geothermal energy production and scientific research in the region.
