The volcano consists of two craters located along a fault zone two kilometers (1.2 mi) apart with associated pyroclastic material and andesitic lava flows on a high plateau at an elevation of 2,000–2,300 metres (6,600–7,500 ft). Cerro Chapulul is an associated cinder cone that was formed during the Holocene.[1]

The stratovolcanoes of Copahue and Tolguaca respectively lie to the north and south-southwest of the Laguna Mariñaqui system.[1]
