I was so excited when I was guided to make this essence! I mean, how many people can say they’ve been ‘inside’ a volcano before!! We were up at the crack of dawn and en route graced with the most spectacular sunrise which actually resembled a ‘volcanic’ eruption! When we took the turning towards the Malacara Volcano we instantly felt a ‘warmth’ from our toes all the way up our bodies! To me it felt like a ‘welcome ’ greeting from the Malacara and I couldn’t wait to get there!

The name ‘Malacara’ comes from the resemblance to a "Malacara" horses that are on the land. They have a white spot that extends from its brow along its snout in a line. Malacara in Spanish means "bad face".

The Malacara stands 1800 m (5,900 ft) above sea level and is around 450.000 years old. It is a ‘hydro magmatic volcano’ which means the eruption occurs when the lava comes in contact with water. This mixture of lava and superheated steam provokes a violent explosive eruption with yellow colored lava. Once the water supply is exhausted, lava flows with its typical black color. Erosion also formed a network of caves and caverns in the mafic lapilli rock deposits (lapilli is volcanic rock with a size of 6 to 24 mm -1⁄4 to 1 inch. Mafic means rocks containing silica, magnesium and iron).

We travelled to a place called Malargue to experience the Malacara Volcano. The first record of Malargüe or Malal – Hue (a Mapuche word that stands for “place of rocky cliffs” or “place of pens”) dates back to the days of the discovery and exploration of these lands, when in December, 1552, Francisco Villagran and seventy men on horseback carried out the first expedition to the East of the Andes, possibly in Southern Mendoza. This expedition spread the alarming news about the natives dwelling in Malal – Hue, who were feared to join the Araucanos from Chile. Malargue has the biggest concentration of ‘volcanoes’ on Earth! Over 800 volcanoes and around 1,000 volcanic cones amidst a landscape covered in black lava. You really do feel like you’ve travelled back in time to the Jurassic/Cretaceous eras when you’re overlooking the landscape! And yes ‘dinosaur’ fossils/bones are found here! This natural reserve attracts geologists and volcanologists from all over the world who say that such a landscape may only be found in Iceland, Hawaii or maybe even on Mars!
