"Yucamane, together with the volcanoes Yucamane Chico and Calientes farther north, forms a Pleistocene volcanic group" -reword to move the "together ... north" to the end of the sentence, after "forms ... group"
"The last dated eruption of Yucamane occurred 1,320 BCE; the occurrence of historical activity" - I know these aren't meant to be contradictory, but to a lay reader I think they might be. What do you mean to say when you refer to "the last dated eruption"?
"Yucamane lies in the Tacna Region, Candarave Province, Candarave District,[4] west of lake Vilacota.[5]" - no mention of Peru; it should be there
"The town of Candarave lies 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) southwest from the volcano,[6][7][8] and the city of Tacna 90 kilometres (56 mi) south.[9] " -reword; awkwardly phrased and could cut out some verbiage here
" to a point close to the col between Yucamane and Calientes" - brief description of what a col is?
"The edifice of the volcano and surrounding region are part of the Vilacota-Maure protected area.[13]" - any idea how large this protected area is? that would be pertinent
"Seven volcanoes have been active in Peru since the arrival of the Spaniards," -which was when?
"Finally, the three volcanoes Ampato, Chachani and Coropuna have heights exceeding 6,000 metres (20,000 ft).[20]" - why does this matter?
"Yucamane is a 5,495-metre (18,028 ft)[1] 5,500-metre (18,000 ft)[9] or 5,508-metre (18,071 ft) high compound volcano,[21" - for readability purposes, might be worth noting that its exact height is a matter of dispute, then provide the different heights. Or you could spread them out a bit and mention the exact height is disputed; I've done the latter at
Silver Star Mountain (Skamania County, Washington) for an example
"summit crater; this crater in turn has a smaller crater"- too many instances of "crater" in such close proximity
"Several other volcanoes lie north of Yucamane, such as the 5,310-metre (17,420 ft) or 5,355-metre (17,569 ft) high Yucamane Chico and the 5,358-metre (17,579 ft) or 5,368-metre (17,612 ft) high Calientes, which form a[2][21] 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) long[4] north-south volcanic chain with Yucamane;[7][6][21] other volcanoes include San Pedro and the much older Nazaparco.[29]" - very long sentence; separate into two perhaps?
"Nazaparco consists of andesitic rocks and rhyolitic block-and-ash flows,[30] while Yucamane Chico and Calientes are surrounded by radially extending lava flows like Yucamane proper.[27] Calientes have a degraded summit crater.[3] They are eroded and show evidence of sector collapses[31] and glaciation,[32] " - Just as a starting note so I don't forget... what does "they" mean here?
"The Yucamane fault runs in a north-south direction across the volcanoes; the Yucamane Chico volcano roughly coincides with the intersection of this fault, with a northwest-southeast trending Yucamane Chico fault.[12]" - I don't understand the last part of this sentence... is that another fault? if so, it's unclear
Can't find the surface area of that protected area. Odd. I presume that 6000 metres are important because most volcanoes are not that high. The problem with saying "its exact height is a matter of dispute" is that the sources don't say so; they silently disagree with each other. Reworded that and the other issues.

"The subducting slab releases fluids which induce the formation of melts which are then erupted on the surface as volcanism.[38] " - "which... which"; one "which" needs to be replaced
"Subduction is not steady along the plate margin" - not sure "steady" is the correct word here
Let me know if you object to the name change; just wanted to merge the trivia section here and that name seemed like a good way to do it
"Vegetation around the volcano includes a humid tundra with overall low vegetation density on its upper slopes, and paramo and montane steppe vegetation east/west and south of the volcano on its lower slopes, respectively.[49] Quenoa woods have been observed on its slopes,[50]" - too many instances of "slopes" in close proximity
"The scorpion species Brachistosternus ninapo is named after the volcano; the term ninapo is a portmanteau of the Quechua word for "fire-spitting mountain"; the scorpion was discovered on the slopes of the volcanoes Yucamane and El Misti.[50]" - separate into at least two sentences. it's a run-on as is
"Thermal anomalies of about 3 °C (5.4 °F) of uncertain origin have been observed on Yucamane by satellite imagery.[64] " - any speculation in the source as to why or what this may indicate?
