Pan de Azúcar is a large, probably alkalic volcano in the jungle NNW of Sumaco volcano and east of the town of Baeza. The 3482-m-high volcano was only relatively recently discovered on satellite images and was considered to be Holocene in age because it is otherwise not likely to be so well preserved in a region with heavy rainfall (Hall 1987, pers. comm.). Later work suggested that the volcano was substantially older than neighboring Sumaco volcano and was of probable late-Pleistocene age (Eissen, 2006, pers. comm.).
