A small, 1.4-km-wide caldera cuts the top of the volcano. The steep-walled, 150-m-deep summit caldera contains an ash cone with a 500-m-wide and 200 m deep crater Debris-avalanche deposits from the collapse of the SE flank of Ubinas about 3700 years ago extend 10 km from the volcano. Widespread plinian pumice-fall deposits from Ubinas include one of Holocene age about 1000 years ago. Holocene lava flows are visible on the volcano's flanks, but historical activity, documented since the 16th century, has consisted of intermittent minor-to-moderate explosive eruptions.

The Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP) recorded and analyzed 3769 seismic events with the eruptive process. Seismic activity and thermal anomalies would be associated with the rise and proximity of magma onto the surface.Surveillance cameras have recorded continuous emissions of bluish gases (magmatic origin) and water vapor. Emissions reached less than 7 km (23 000 ft) altitude.
