Yucamane volcano has a young and well-preserved summit crater and has probably erupted many times during the past 10,000 years, although may reports from eruptions in the area are unclear as to which volcano erupted.The most recent larger explosive (plinian) eruption occurred about 3300 radiocarbon years ago.
