Payunia consists of the volcanic fields Llancanelo and PayúnMatrú, originated by the Tertiary magmatic activity until historical times. Located in the southeast of the province of Mendoza, Argentina, it was included in 2010 on the Tentative List of UNESCO nominated for World Heritage for the outstanding universal value of its site. This value is grounded on their fields emergence of many igneous rocks from different ages and numerous volcanic relief that structure varied landscapes. Moreover, low human occupation by the dry climate and the youth of different kinds of eruptions, have allowed the natural characteristics remain unchanged.
