After we finished a day trip from the city of Pereira to the Parque del Cafe ("Coffee Park"), a theme park in the heart of Juan Valdez coffee country in central Colombia, we saw that the Nevado del Tolima volcano was visible. This volcano is the more peaceful neighbor of the Nevado del Ruiz further north, best known for the terrible mudslide in 1985 that killed about 25,000 people and buried the entire town of Armero (it hadn't erupted for 500 years before that tragedy). On a clear day in Bogotá, the Nevado del Tolima can be seen in the distance.
