The deeply dissected Pueblo Nuevo Viñas (also known as Cerro la Gabia) is located between Pacaya and Tecuamburro volcanoes. The andesitic-dacitic stratovolcano has undergone edifice collapse that left a large horseshoe-shaped caldera breached to the NE and a debris-avalanche deposit that is overlain by the village of Pueblo Nuevo Viñas. Four cinder cones are located on the NE flank, and lava flows cover the western portion of the Cuilapa quadrangle. A Potassium-Argon age of 2.6 +/- 0.3 million years (Ma) was obtained from an older volcano in the complex, and an age of 0.821 +/- 0.118 Ma from a younger stratovolcano (Duffield et al., 1991).
