This chapter examines the symbolic landscape of Cerro Machín Volcano (CMV) in Colombia, exploring how its volcanic environment shapes the cultural imagination and territorial identity of surrounding communities. The study addresses the following research question: How does CMV embody a form of “volcanic culture” that integrates tangible and intangible heritage within a systemic cultural heritage framework? Drawing on an ethnohistorical and geoarchaeological methodology, the chapter compares the CMV case with Mesoamerican and Pacific geoheritage to contextualise how volcanic landscapes have been symbolically represented and ritualised across Latin America. Comparative analysis highlights both continuity and rupture in cultural responses to volcanism in pre-Columbian cultures. Integrating Katherine Donovan’s approach to social volcanology, the study adopts a systemic heritage perspective to interpret how ecological, geological, and symbolic factors co-produce heritage values. Findings show that, unlike Mesoamerican civilisations with strong imperial networks and sustained oral transmission, the fragmented settlement patterns and long eruptive timelines of the Andes limited myths continuity. Nevertheless, CMV expresses a deeply rooted yet fragile volcanic culture, revealing the intertwined natural and cultural processes that define Colombia’s Andean geoheritage.
