San Quintín Volcanic Field, Volcanic field in Baja California, Mexico.
The San Quintín Volcanic Field encompasses twelve inactive volcanoes spread across a vast area, featuring distinct craters and solidified lava formations.
More than 180,000 years of underwater volcanic activity created solidified lava islands, with the most recent eruption occurring approximately 1,000 years ago.
Indigenous communities in the region incorporated the volcanic landscape into their traditions, while modern agricultural practices utilize the nutrient-rich volcanic soil.
Visitors can access the volcanic field through designated observation areas, with guided tours available from November to March during cooler temperatures.
The Monte Ceniza volcano rises 180 meters high within its nature reserve, displaying a substantial crater measuring 350 meters in diameter.
