The Sierra Santa Marta is actually composed of several named volcanic peaks. Volcano Santa Marta may
only be the remaining caldera of a much larger volcano, as is evident in the photo below creaded with the tilt
technique on Google Earth-
This extinct volcano is of the broad shield type, tops out close to 5800 feet, about 1750 meters. (there is no
authority on its actual height), and is hard to visually separate on the ground from neighboring tall volcanic
peaks in the Sierra Santa Marta, Cerro Mezcalapa, Cerro Sihuapan, Cerro Platanillo (1,550 m), Cerro de la
Muerte, Filo Península de Moreno, and Bastonal-Yohualtajapan (1,640 m)
