Nevado de Colima National Park, National park between Jalisco and Colima states, Mexico

Nevado de Colima National Park protects the upper slopes of two volcanoes in Jalisco and Colima: the inactive Nevado de Colima, 4,330 m, and the active Volcán de Fuego, 3,958 m. The park boundary follows the 3,200-meter contour. The Nevado's crater measures 150 meters across; the Volcán de Fuego's crater is 1,800 meters wide and 250 meters deep.

The park was established in 1936 under President Lázaro Cárdenas to protect the volcanic landscape and surrounding natural habitats. This founding reflected a national effort to preserve important mountain regions across Mexico.

The red warbler, a bird with a red breast and face, was chosen as the park's symbol; it is one of 102 bird species recorded here. The Centro de Educación Ambiental La Joya, with an audiovisual room, an interactive mural and a botanical laboratory, receives school groups. A high-mountain nursery, described as the only one of its kind in Mexico, also operates in the park.

The park offers hiking, camping, and cycling opportunities on marked trails that traverse multiple elevation zones. Trail difficulty varies, so it's helpful to plan your route based on your fitness level and available time.

The red warbler, a bird found only in Mexico's highlands, was chosen as the park's symbol. Jaguars are not resident here but cross the park when moving between mountain ranges. The park also holds a high-altitude plant nursery described as the only one of its kind in Mexico.
