In the vicinity of the foot of Mount Guntur precisely in the district of Tarogong Kaler there are many hotels and inns equipped with hot water bath facilities hot springs obtained from Mount Guntur. In the peak of Mount Guntur there is a very large and deep caldera that comes from the former eruption. Characteristics of Mount Guntur is generally sandy so it is not overgrown with plants and looks barren. Most of the area is overgrown with weeds and looks like a savanna. At the top there are only a few canteen plants that grow. Besides cantigi, more pine trees grow on this mountain… |

| Topology & Geology; |
| Mount Guntur does not stand alone as a single cone, which at its peak is characterized by the old cones of the former eruption point which is a large group of Mount Guntur. From this large group of Mount Guntur, there are two caldera, namely the West Caldera and Gandapura Caldera in the east. The morphology of Mount Guntur complex has a very varying slope between 2 ‘to 75’. The slope of the ramp is commonly found in residential areas, such as Garut City, Kadung Ora, Leles, Tarogong and Cipanas. The steep slope is around the top of Mount Guntur. The body of Mount Guntur was built by the result of explosive and effusive eruptions. The result of eruption of Mount Guntur mostly in the form of lava flow is still fresh and overlapping. The youngest lava (the eruption of 1840) flows from the Crater of Mount Guntur to the southeast and south and ends in the Cipanas area (about 300 meters north of the tourist location of Cipanas bath), where the tip forms a horseshoe morphology. Piroklastika flow spreads to the southeast of the Guntur Mountain Crater and partially obscured by the younger Guntur lava flows. Flow of pyroclastic thunder There are 3 (three) types, the first is composed of lava blocks with matruk yellowish brown sand, this sedimentary outcrop can be found around Kampung Pesantren. Type Two is composed of lava blocks and volcanic bombs with coarse sand matrix and are less coherent. The youngest is composed of basaltic and andesitic lava fragments and volcanic bombs with a blackish-gray bread crust structure. This pyroclastic flow shows the fan-shaped pattern from the Peak of Guntur to the southeast. The sedimentary drop of Piroklastika is largely concentrated around the peak of Mount Guntur and spreads to the north and southeast. The sediments are composed of Skoria and litik basaltis are black, smooth to rough, well-coated with thickness ranging from 4-34 cm. |
