On the border between the State of Colima and the State of Jalisco is the Colima Volcano complex, which has
two main volcanic peaks:
-
One is the Nevado de
Colima,
4,220 meters high, which is inactive and covered with snow most of the
year
-
The other is the Volcan
del Fuego (Fire Volcano),
3,960 meters high, which is very active and constantly smoking.
Recently, there have been a large number of both lava and ash eruptions, some of which
necessitated evacuation of nearby villages
The Nevado de Colima is
an ideal place for mountaineering and camping. It is reached through the zone of the
lagoons or by way of the
Colima -
Guadalajara highway, taking the turnoff 30 km before
Atenquique, Jalisco.
