    The Tolima volcano is a 5,215-meter stratovolcano in the Colombian Central Cordillera, located between Ibagué and Los Nevados National Natural Park. It is notable for its pyramidal glacial cone and active crater with fumaroles, surrounded by high-altitude Andean grasslands and frailejones (Espeletia plants). Its summit, exposed to strong winds, offers views of the Ruíz and Machín volcanoes and the Otún Lagoon.

    Hiking

    The ascent to the summit of Nevado del Tolima (5,220 m), an active stratovolcano. It is considered one of the most challenging, but also most rewarding summits in the Los Nevados region.

    An expedition to the summit typically takes 4 to 6 days, with the pure hiking time to the summit from High Camp being approximately 6 to 8 hours.
