About wildfires in Colombia

Colombia's diverse geography — from the Andes mountains to the Amazon rainforest and the Orinoquía plains — creates varied fire conditions throughout the year. The dry season from December to March brings heightened fire risk, particularly in the eastern Llanos and the Caribbean coast.

Fires in Colombia's Amazon region threaten critical biodiversity and indigenous territories. The Orinoquía grasslands experience natural and human-caused fires annually. Climate phenomena like El Niño significantly increase fire risk across the country, as experienced in the severe 2024 fire season.

This tracker provides real-time satellite monitoring of all fire activity across Colombia's 32 departments.
