Tres Vírgenes, Stratovolcano in Mulegé, Mexico

A geothermal energy plant operates at the northern section of the volcanic complex, near the edge of the El Aguajito caldera.
The ground level contains Cretaceous granitic rocks overlaid by late Cenozoic volcanic materials, including andesite from the Santa Lucía Range.
