The conical Nevado de Longaví is a late-Pleistocene to Holocene, dominantly andesitic stratovolcano constructed over a basement of Tertiary volcaniclastic and granitic rocks. Two edifice-collapse events modified the E and SW flanks of a pre-Holocene edifice, and Holocene activity has been concentrated at the summit and on the E flanks. Andesitic-to-dacitic lava domes occupy the summit region. The latest eruptions produced a lava dome in the upper part of the collapse scarp and summit region that partially collapsed to the E, forming block-and-ash flow deposits. Fumarolic activity has been reported.
