Volcán Galeras
Location:
Pasto, Colombia
Climbing
Early Pastuso mornings you can catch a glimpse of Galeras, when the clouds lift enough to see it sending up smoke signals. Located only seven kilometers from Pasto, the volcano has high Andean páramo and sub-parámo ecosystems woven by over 120 rivers and four lagoons. Butterflies, deers, foxes, squirrels, cusumbo, raposa and 95 species of birds make their home on these flanks. Two hiking trails begin from the ranger station: Sendero Achichay (4060 meters) and Sendero Frailajón (3360-3960 meters).
Since reawakening from a deep slumber in 1989, Galeras has been closed to hiking and climbing. You can, however, visit pueblos at its base in the Circumvalar de Galeras.
Travel Skills: intermediate/somewhat difficult.
