Santa Isabel

Santa Isabel rises to 4,950 meters with three symmetrical domes at its summit and extends across the departments of Tolima, Caldas, and Risaralda.

The volcano's last recorded activity occurred in 1943, marking the final chapter in a geological timeline that spans thousands of years of volcanic formation.

Local indigenous communities monitor the volcano's glaciers as water sources, maintaining traditional practices of environmental stewardship passed through generations.

Visitors require permits from Los Nevados National Park authorities and professional guides to access the volcanic areas between December and March.

The summit features three distinct lava domes of equal elevation, creating a rare geological formation in the Northern Volcanic Zone of the Andes.
