About Nevado del Ruiz
Nevado del Ruiz rises to about 5,300 metres in the Colombian Andes, in the Los Nevados area between Caldas and Tolima, and is capped by shrinking glaciers. Its 1985 eruption sent mudflows that destroyed the town of Armero, and the volcano is still closely watched. This Nevado del Ruiz live cam is streamed by the Servicio Geológico Colombiano, the national geological survey.
Which Nevado del Ruiz webcam to check first
Watch at dawn, when the summit is most often clear of cloud. Through the day, cloud often covers the upper slopes, and the image shows little beyond grey.
Before you go to Nevado del Ruiz
Check the Servicio Geológico Colombiano's volcanic activity bulletins before visiting Los Nevados National Natural Park, as access near the crater is restricted when activity rises.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
