About Volcan Nevado de Colima National Park
The Colima volcano complex is often described as two volcanoes, but there is a third calledEl Cántarothat is much older and is significantly eroded. It is considered an extinct volcano. Volcan de Colima (or Volcan de Fuego, if you prefer the more colorful name) is the most active volcano in Mexico, having over 40 major eruptions since 1576. It is 3958 meters high. It has erupted frequently since 2001. It is adecade volcano(one of the world's most dangerous). It could blow again at any time and has the potential to kill a lot of people (more than 300,000 people live within 25 miles of it). That leaves Nevado de Colima (also known as Zapotepetl) as the only choice to safely explore. Nevado de Colima is a dormant volcano. It is the highest volcano in the complex at 4330 meters.
