Doña Juana-Cascabel Volcanic Complex

The complex features three volcanoes reaching 3,305 meters in elevation across 65,858 acres of protected mountainous terrain in southwestern Colombia.

Following several eruption cycles between 1897 and 1936, the Colombian government established this area as a National Natural Park in March 2007.

Indigenous communities within the buffer zones maintain traditional practices related to land stewardship and environmental management near the volcanic formations.

The Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas manages access to the park through designated entry points in the municipalities of El Tablón and San Bernardo.

Three volcanic edifices named Santa Helena, Ancestral Doña Juana, and Old Doña Juana form this geological structure resulting from tectonic plate movement.
