Nevado del Huila

Nevado del Huila is Colombia's highest volcano, an andesitic stratovolcano rising 5,364 meters at the tripoint of the Huila, Tolima and Cauca departments in the Andean Volcanic Belt's North Volcanic Zone, resting on the Ibague Batholith. After more than 500 years of dormancy it erupted twice in April 2007, sending avalanches into the Paez River that forced the evacuation of more than 4,000 people, and it erupted again in April and November 2008, the November event killing ten, remaining active into 2012.
