Wildfires are currently threatening the tourist town of Villa de Leyva in central Colombia, as the country faces multiple fires exacerbated by record-breaking temperatures and drought conditions linked to El Niño. According to The Guardian World, Colombian authorities have declared a public calamity due to the blaze, which is burning through the mountains surrounding the town and forcing evacuations. The fire has scorched large areas of vegetation, and nearly 20 active fires are burning across the country. Al Jazeera English reports that the situation is part of a broader pattern of wildfires across Colombia, fueled by dry conditions and the ongoing effects of El Niño. The impact on the region remains significant, with the potential for further spread of the fires depending on weather conditions.
