La Reforma, Volcanic caldera in Baja California Sur, Mexico
La Reforma spans 10 kilometers in diameter with a rim reaching heights between 100 to 500 meters, forming a circular depression in the landscape.
The caldera emerged during the Plio-Pleistocene period when volcanic activity in the Gulf of California region shaped the peninsula approximately ten million years ago.
The volcanic formations of La Reforma contribute to the geological heritage of Baja California Sur, influencing local understanding of the natural environment.
Visitors should plan their exploration during winter months when temperatures are more moderate and coordinate with local guides for geological excursions.
The caldera contains hot springs with temperatures reaching 98 degrees Celsius, indicating an active magma chamber beneath the surface.
