PURACE VOLCANO
CLIMBING
The Purace volcano is located in the Kokonuco Indigenous reserve. This is a drive of about 3 hours from Popayan and has a height of 4650 meters (2889 ft).
It is one of the most active volcanoes of the area and can easily be seen from far away, especially on sunny days.
You don´t need to be an expert mountaineer but the 4 to 5 hour walk can be quite challenging because of the altitude and changeable climate. You will notice different type of vegetation and less and less plants the closer you get to the summit.
Although, the climb to the 500 meter wide crater is rewarding because it offers you spectacular views and beautiful sceneries on the way.

Extra Information On The Purace Volcano Climb
Keep in mind that this walk takes place on high altitude so we recommend to take it easy and bring some medication if you usually suffer from high-altitude. Even tough the sun is not always visible, it does burn at this altitude. Bring some good sunscreen.
It can get relatively cold, especially closer to the summit. If you can, bring some gloves, scarf, hat, and a good jacket. The guide can arrange some gloves and a hat for you as well in case it is needed.
