The Nevado del Ruiz also known as La Mesa de Herveo (English: Mesa of Herveo, the name of the nearby town) is a volcano located on the border of the departments of Caldas and Tolima in Colombia, about 129 kilometers (80 mi) west of the capital city Bogotá. It is a stratovolcano composed of many layers of lava alternating with hardened volcanic ash and other pyroclastic rocks. Volcanic activity at Nevado del Ruiz began about two million years ago, since the Early Pleistocene or Late Pliocene, with three major eruptive periods. The current volcanic cone formed during the present eruptive period, which began 150...

Absolutely stunning. Not swamped by tourists, especially if you have your own vehicle. There's a good paved road to the main gate, except for the last 5km which can be driven slowly in most any car. Tours are available from Manizales or twice a day from the gate. You can also drive past the gate with your own car on the dirt road. No motorcycles allowed past the gate because of previous louts going off road and causing damage.

If you decide to go around towards Murillo make sure you have a very high clearance vehicle or dual sport motorcycle. That route is definitely not for the...

El Volcán del Ruiz , Nevado del Ruiz , también conocido como Mesa de Herveo,4​ y en la época precolombina como Cumanday, Tabuchía y Tama,1​ se conoce como Volcán del Ruiz quizás en honor a Alfonso Ruiz de Sahajosa, miembro del cabildo y persona notable de Ibagué, 5​ es el más septentrional de los volcanes activos del cinturón volcánico de los Andes, ubicado en el límite entre los departamentos de Tolima y Caldas, en Colombia. Es un estratovolcán compuesto por muchas capas de lava que se alternan con ceniza volcánica endurecida y otros piroclastos. Ha estado activo durante cerca de dos millones de años, desde el Pleistoceno temprano o el Plioceno tardío, con tres periodos eruptivos importantes. La formación del cono volcánico formado durante el curso del período eruptivo actual comenzó hace 150 mil años.

En general, sus erupciones son de tipo pliniano, dando origen a rápidas tortugas de gas caliente y roca denominadas flujos piroclásticos. Estas erupciones masivas a menudo generan lahares (flujos de lodo y escombros), que suponen una amenaza para la vida humana y el medio ambiente. El 13 de noviembre de 1985 una pequeña erupción desencadenó un enorme lahar que enterró la cabecera urbana de Armero en lo que se conoció como la tragedia de Armero, en la que según se calcula, ocurrieron aproximadamente 25.000 muertes,6​ por lo que se le considera como la segunda erupción volcánica más devastadora del siglo XX, tras la erupción del Monte Pelée de 1902.7​ Otros incidentes similares ocurrieron en 1595 y 1845, pero fueron...
