Mojanda is a complex of two volcanoes which were active simultaneously. The
volcanic vents are only 3 km apart. The other volcano, which produced at

the west. A new volcanic cone and other lava domes subsequently extruded inside
the caldera, probably during the Late Pleistocene.
The high altitude grasslands and shrublands
of Mojanda, which lie above the cloud forests, are collectively known as
