Cuernos del Diablo is a partially glacially eroded basaltic stratovolcano. Numerous satellitic pyroclastic cones and associated basaltic lava flows were formed during the Holocene, principally on the SW flank and from the summit to the NW base of the volcano. Fumaroles were observed on a flank cone in 1931. Although no historical eruptions are known, some of these cones may have formed during historical time (González-Ferrán, 1995). However, Lara et al. (2001) mapped this volcano as Plio-Pleistocene, and cited a K-Ar age date of 0.7 +/- 0.4 Ma from SERNAGEOMIN-BRGM (1995).
