The volcano, whose name literally means "whore" has (probably) erupted twice in historic times. Its name might allure to a major destructive eruption reported in the 19th century, although some recent research suggests that there actually were eruptions at all in historic times at Putana volcano.
Introduction:
Putana volcano is part of a large, roughly N-S-trending volcanic complex that covers an area of 600 sq km.The main edifice consists mainly of dacitic lava domes and flows mantling an older pre-Holocene volcano. The youngest basaltic andesite lava flows are viscous and rarely extend more than 3 km.
