Galeras remains one of the most active volcanoes in Colombia.
The volcano plays a crucial role in local legends and rituals practiced by nearby communities.
On the volcano’s slopes, you can find a rich diversity of flora such as cloud forests and high-mountain shrubs. Wildlife includes species like the páramo frailejón, the oncilla (tigrillo), and several bird species such as the quetzal.
It’s important to wear appropriate clothing for the mountain’s cold climate, use sun protection, bring water, and be in good physical shape, as the trails can be demanding.
Galeras Volcano has recorded over 20 eruptions in the last 500 years, making it a very active volcano.
The name “Galeras” comes from the word “galera,” which locally refers to a “cavity,” due to the shape of its crater.
The volcano’s activity is monitored by the Colombian Geological Service to ensure the safety of residents and visitors in the region.
