Yukamani[2] (hispanicized spellings Yucamane, Yucamani) is an andesitic stratovolcano group in southern Peru.[1] It is located in the Tacna Region, Candarave Province, Candarave District, west of the lake Wilaquta.[3]
The group is mostly Holocene in age. During the Holocene, Yukamani has shown signs of Plinian eruptions which produced pyroclastic flows. The most recent of these events occurred around 1320 BC.

Morphology
Yukamani is made up of two stratovolcanoes, Yukamani itself which rises to 5,550 m above sea level and Calientes which rises to 5,358 m above sea level. Only Yukamani has a youthful summit crater.
Eruptions
The only recorded activity was an eruption of uncertain specification in 1787. Eruptions were reported in the 19th and 20th centuries, but these are considered unlikely.
