Sangangüey contains a prominent lava spine at its eroded summit, seen here from the west. Sangangüey was constructed on the southern flank of Las Navajas volcano. The NW and SE flanks contain 45 scoria cones that erupted during the past 300,000 years. Activity at the main edifice ceased during the Pleistocene and some cones may only be about 1,000 years old.
