Sierra Negra Volcano

Sierra Negra Volcano, located on Isabela Island in Ecuador, is one of South America’s most active volcanoes. Its vast molten crater forms the second largest caldera in the world, a striking feature that dominates the landscape. This huge shield volcano has a history of erupting approximately every 15 years, with the last eruption recorded in 2005. Since then, hikers have been able to observe various geological and thermal events, adding an element of dynamic natural activity to the experience. Visitors can explore the rugged terrain and witness the ongoing geothermal processes that shape this unique environment.
