Las Cumbres
Las Cumbres is a stratovolcano in Puebla, Mexico. It features an amphitheater-shaped caldera measuring across with its eastern wall breached. Major lava flows around the volcano are andesitic. Inside the crater is a dacitic lava dome. Previously thought to be as tall as Pico de Orizaba, the cone was destroyed in an ancient debris avalanche.
