Nevado del Tolima, Stratovolcano summit in Los Nevados National Natural Park, Colombia.

The snow-covered peak reaches an elevation of 5,220 meters with steep slopes forming a symmetrical cone in the Cordillera Central mountain range.

The volcano experienced its last significant eruption approximately 3,600 years ago, with minor volcanic activity documented until 1943.

Indigenous communities throughout generations have conducted ceremonies at the mountain base, considering the volcano a representation of natural forces.

Access to Nevado del Tolima starts from Ibague city, requiring proper mountaineering equipment and acclimatization due to high altitude conditions.

The summit features a funnel-shaped crater measuring 200 to 300 meters in depth, surrounded by multiple Late Pleistocene to Holocene lava domes.
