El Escondido volcano, Stratovolcano in Caldas Department, Colombia.
El Escondido rises to 3,150 meters in elevation within the Central Cordillera mountain range, featuring layers of solidified lava flows and volcanic ash.
The volcano was discovered in 2013 during geological surveys of the Selva de Florencia National Natural Park, revealing formations dating back 30,000 years.
The geographical formations of El Escondido influence the agricultural practices of local communities, who cultivate coffee on the nutrient-rich volcanic soil.
Visitors need to obtain permits and coordinate with local authorities before accessing the volcano, as it sits within a protected natural park area.
The volcanic deposits of El Escondido differ from neighboring formations, setting it apart from the San Diego volcano despite their geographical proximity.
