The Cerro Auquihuato cinder cone lies ~30 km NE of Sara Sara volcano. Along with older cones, it was constructed along the southern rim of an isolated high plateau east of the Río Ocona. The cone fed a lava flow with very prominent levees that traveled southward down a river valley dissecting the margins of the plateau. The Instituto Geofísico del Perú lists it as having undated Holocene activity (as of June 2025).
