Parque Nacional Volcán Nevado de Colima, is home to the snow-covered, sleeping Volcán Nevado de Colima, but it’s the younger, tempestuous Volcán de Fuego that steals the show. The “volcano of fire” has lived up to its name with a vengeance, erupting more than 30 times since 1585 — and still fuming. The University of Colima Volcano Observatory has monitored its activity for 20 years, including a June 2005 explosion that shot ash 3 miles into the sky.Source:sfgate.com
Travelers can book a tour or hire a guide in Colima to explore Fuego’s lower reaches or hike to the top of Nevado de Colima. Campsites and a basic hut are also available at the park entrance, where trails lead into wildlife-rich pine forest on Nevado de Colima’s slopes. Dry months are December through May, though December through February can bring freezing temperatures. The national park extends into both Jalisco and Colima states, about 19 miles from Colima, the semitropical state capital. Ciudad Guzmán, home of muralist José Clemente Orozco, is closer but has less to offer tourists. For all of you that are willing to learn more about latinamerican culture and custom, we encourage you and highly recommend trying experiential learning courses abroad Volver a HOMEPost relacionados Estas leyendo la entrada Best Volcanoes in Mexico: Volcán de Fuego and Volcán Nevado de Colima Viernes, Agosto 17th, 2007 a las 17:23 y esta categorizada en General.
