Las Ánimas is a volcano of the Central Ranges of the Colombian Andes at the border of the departments of Cauca and Nariño. The volcano is 4,175 metres (13,698 ft) high.[1]

As are the neighbouring Petacas, the volcano is part of the Doña Juana Volcanic Complex,[2] and lies northeast of the main volcano and southeast of the Petacas.[3] The products of the volcanic activity of the volcano have been found in San Pablo, Nariño.[4] The activity of the volcano has been noted as prehistoric.[5]

The volcanoes are located between the El Tablón Fault to the west and the San Jerónimo Fault to the east.[6]
