Nevado del Tolima is a stratovolcano located in Tolima, Colombia, south of Nevado del Ruiz volcano. The andesitic volcano overlies the Eocene El Bosque Batholith, dated at 49.1 ± 1.7 Ma.
The steep-sided, glacier-clad Nevado del Tolima volcano contrasts with the broad profile of Nevado del Ruiz volcano to the north. The andesitic-dacitic younger Tolima volcano formed during the past 40,000 years, rising above and largely obscuring a 3-km-wide late-Pleistocene caldera. The summit consists of a cluster of late-Pleistocene to Holocene lava domes that were associated with thick block-lava flows on the northern and eastern flanks and extensive pyroclastic-flow deposits. The summit contains a funnel-shaped crater 200–300 m deep. This crater is quite recent and was not present in December 1926. <"El Grafico" 19 February 1927 no. 819 page 714 first column at the bottom>
Holocene activity has included explosive eruptions ranging in size from moderate to plinian. The last major eruption took place about 3600 years ago. Lava dome growth has produced block-and-ash flows that traveled primarily to the NE and SE. Minor explosive eruptions have been recorded from Tolima in the 19th and 20th centuries.
There's an alpine trail (T4) called Ruta Shimmer leading to the summit. Crater Nevado del Tolima is one of the 3 peaks along the Cara Norte por el Gusano (PD).
