Laguna Aramuaca volcano is a lake-filled explosion crater (maar) 10 km SE of the city of San Miguel in southeastern El Salvador.
The crater is 1 km wide and might have formed less than 10,000 years. The phreatomagmatic eruptions that formed it left spectacular pyroclastic surge deposits exposed in quarries near the rim.
