Basaltic cinder cones and forested lava flows along the east side of Lake Güija, which straddles the border between El Salvador and Guatemala, is named after its largest feature, Volcán de San Diego. A large basaltic lava flow from the San Diego cinder cone dammed the drainage and was responsible for the formation of Lake Güija. Although Williams and McBirney (1955) estimated that the latest eruption occurred within the past few thousand years, none of the eruptions have been dated.
