Geological summary
Cerro Cinotepeque is the largest and most prominent of a group of four pyroclastic cones mapped as Holocene by Weber and Weismann (1978) in low-lying areas on either side of the Río Lempa, ~40 km N of San Salvador. Cinotepeque lies south of the river; Cerro Colorado, Cerro Santiago, and Cerro Mosquito lie immediately north of the river. Two additional cones are about 10 km farther north, just beyond the town of Nuevo Concepcion. A large group of small Pleistocene stratovolcanoes and pyroclastic cones constructed along NW-SE-trending faults is located west and south of Cinotepeque and west of Guazapa volcano.
