The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) reported eight ash emissions from the Puracé Volcano between 2:00 p.m. on Monday, August 31, 2026, and the time of the report publication. ^[1] The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) maintained an orange alert for Puracé Volcano on September 2, 2026, following a month of increased activity since August 1. ^[2] A magnitude 2.7 earthquake occurred at 11:52 AM in the influence zones of Puracé Volcano, specifically affecting the municipalities of Totoró and Puracé in the Cauca department. ^[3] The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) maintains an Orange Alert for the Los Coconucos volcanic chain, describing the current activity as the highest recorded instrumentally. ^[4] Cristian Santacoloma, coordinator of the Popayán Volcanological and Seismological Observatory, stated that the volcano's behavior reflects a sustained increase in seismic activity associated with degassing near the crater surface. ^[5] The ash emissions from the Puracé Volcano reached a maximum height of 240 meters above the summit. ^[6] A seismic swarm of approximately 550 events was recorded between August 29 and September 1 in a zone located 10 to 15 kilometers northeast of the volcanic edifice. ^[7] The SGC warns that temporary fluctuations in activity levels, even periods of apparent decrease, do not automatically signal a return to stability while the Orange Alert remains in effect. ^[8]
