Snapshots that tell the story of Cerro Verde.
Cerro Verde began to form approximately 1.5 million years ago and had its last eruption about 25,000 years ago. Over time, erosion altered its structure, and the ancient crater became covered by a misty forest. This natural transformation concealed its volcanic shape and gave it the appearance of a mountain, although its origin remains hidden beneath the vegetation.
