Chiles volcano, Stratovolcano at Colombia-Ecuador border.
The Chiles volcano rises to an elevation of 4,748 meters above sea level, forming part of the Chiles-Cerro Negro volcanic complex.
During the second half of the 19th century, the volcano exhibited intense fumarolic activity, with potential minor eruptions occurring between 1860 and 1869.
The indigenous Pastos people inhabit the surrounding territories, maintaining their ancestral connections to the volcanic landscape through generations.
Two main access roads lead to the volcano: one from Chiles to Tiuquer in Colombia and another from Tufiño to Maldonado in Ecuador.
The volcano features thermal springs and sulfur vents on both Colombian and Ecuadorian sides, indicating continuous geothermal activity beneath the surface.
