 La Reforma Caldera 
La Reforma Caldera dutsen mai aman wuta ne a gabashin tsakiyar Baja California. Kusan  ne a diamita da  tsayi.  A gabas ta tsakiya Baja California akwai tsaunuka da yawa kuma wannan yana gabas da dutsen mai aman wuta na Tres Vírgenes da kudu maso gabas na El Aguajito.

La Reforma dutsen mai aman wuta ne na caldera, wanda aka kafa lokacin da babban fashewa ya bar gidan magma mara komai, wanda dutsen mai aman wuta na sama ya ruguje. Babban fashewar La Reforma na ƙarshe ya faru kimanin shekaru 10,000 da suka wuce. Fadowar ta sun ƙunshi toka da faɗuwar ƙumburi, ƙwanƙolin ƙwarƙwara, da tudun pantellerite.  Duwatsu masu launin duhu waɗanda suka haɗa da gefen waje na La Reforma sun samo asali daga lava mai ruwa sosai. 

 Tres Vírgenes ne 
Tres Vírgenes, layin tsaunuka guda uku da aka haɗa, suna yammacin La Reforma Caldera. Suna kwance NE-SW tare da yammacin Gulf of California.  Uku sune La Vírgen ( Budurwa ) a kudu maso yamma, El Azufre (Sulfur) a tsakiya, da El Viejo (The Old One) a arewa maso gabas. El Viejo shine mafi tsufa kuma mafi ƙasƙanci, kuma La Vírgen shine ƙarami kuma mafi tsayi daga cikin ukun. Yana da tarihin fashewar ƙuruciya da fashewar fashewar da ke kunshe da kwararar pyroclastic, dacitic da andesitic lava flows.

Dutsen dutsen yana girma kuma yana ƙara girma daga arewa maso gabas zuwa kudu maso yamma. Sun ƙunshi stratovolcanoes, lava domes, da pyroclastic cones. Dacitic lava domes da kwarara sun faru a El Viejo da El Azufre.

Ba kamar sauran duwatsu masu aman wuta a Baja California, Tres Vírgenes stratovolcanoes ne, wanda ya ƙunshi wasu nau'ikan toka da lava.  Lokaci na ƙarshe da ɗayan dutsen mai aman wuta ke aiki shine a cikin 1746, tare da yuwuwar fashewa a cikin 1857.  Shaidar fashewar 1746 ta fito ne daga wani firist na Spain, wanda a lokacin yana kan kewayawa a cikin Gulf of California. A cikin rahoton nasa, an ce akwai wata toka daga fashewar fashewar, kuma yayin da ba a gano ma'adanar tephra ba, akwai alamun kwararar lava na andesitic da ka iya fitowa daga fashewar 1746. 

Kwanan nan kamar shekaru 6,500 da suka gabata, La Vírgen ya fuskanci fashewar Plinian - wani babban abu mai fashewa wanda ya haifar da ginshiƙi na gutsuttsuran dutsen dutse da iskar gas wanda ke shiga cikin stratosphere . Fashewar ta haifar da wani ginshiki wanda ya kai akalla kilomita 18 a cikin iska ya kuma ajiye toka da gutsutsun duwatsu sama da murabba'in kilomita 500. A cikin na fashewar, pyroclastic gudana (dutsen ruwan hoda) da lahar (gudanar ruwa, duwatsu masu launin toka) daga El Azufre Volcano ya shimfida fili zuwa arewa har zuwa Gulf of California. 

 El Aguajito Caldera 
El Aguajito Caldera, wanda kuma aka sani da Santa Ana Caldera, yana arewa maso gabashin Tres Vírgenes.  Samuwar caldera "yana da alaƙa da fashewar ignimbrites, K-Ar kwanan wata a  Ma".   Baƙin caldera kusan  ne fadi kuma ba a fallasa shi a saman.  Akwai tsarin geothermal mai aiki tare da maɓuɓɓugan zafi a gefen kudancin caldera.
