Volcanodle
Puzzle #114 was Andahua-Orcopampa.
The Andahua-Orcopampa volcanic field in the Andahua (or Andagua) valley area, 20 km ENE of Nevados de Coropuna, is a large 60 x 60 km scoria cone and lava field. Known locally as the "Valley of the Volcanoes," the field lies in a series of deep NNW-SSE-trending, en-echelon valleys: Orcopampa, Andahua, and Ayo. The field contains youthful dominantly trachyandesitic cinder cones and lava flows that have destroyed buildings and may be only a few hundred years old.
