Visting Armero Tragedy in Colombia's Tolima Department

Visiting this solemn place. The scene of such a horror for the people of the then-named Armero, now named Armero Tragedy. I take you for a short work through the old town square to the town's church.

The Armero tragedy (Spanish: Tragedia de Armero) was one of the major consequences of the eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz stratovolcano in Tolima, Colombia, on November 13, 1985. After 69 years of dormancy, the volcano's eruption caught nearby towns unaware, even though the government had received warnings from multiple volcanological organizations to evacuate the area after the detection of volcanic activity two months earlier.
