The eroded Plio-Pleistocene Ixhuatán volcano rises to the NE above the Pacific coastal plain of Guatemala. Ixhuatán has produced dominantly andesitic lava flows and volcaniclastic deposits. NE-SW-trending faults cut the volcanic complex. Pleistocene andesitic ignimbrite deposits from the neighboring Tecuamburro volcanic complex bank up onto the western flanks of Ixhuatán.
