La Reforma

La Reforma is a volcanic caldera in Baja California Sur featuring a circular depression surrounded by raised rock walls. The crater floor and surrounding walls create a striking geological formation visible from various viewpoints.

This caldera formed millions of years ago through volcanic activity in the Gulf of California region. The geological processes that shaped it are connected to the broader development of the Baja California peninsula.

The volcanic formations of La Reforma contribute to the geological heritage of Baja California Sur, influencing local understanding of the natural environment.

It is advisable to plan your visit during cooler months when temperatures are more comfortable for exploration. Local guides can help ensure safe navigation through this geologically active site.

Beneath the surface are hot springs with very high temperatures indicating magmatic activity underground. These thermal features reveal that the geological processes creating this landscape remain partially active.
