The mountain has been designated as a red-alert zone with the danger of future eruptions due to recent volcanic activity. The huge stratovolcano, Nevado del Huila, is Colombia's tallest active volcano. It is constructed within an older caldera and has an extended N-S shape with a sequence of andesitic-dacitic lava domes and ice-capped summit sections.

Nevado de Huila, as part of the Andean range, is home to the world's largest array of biodiversity and endemic species. Biodiversity is defined as a wide range of organisms that can adapt to the climatic circumstances of their habitat. The paramo, cloud forests, montane forests, animals, fungus, and microbes are all unique to the ranges. Agriculture and transportation have both been utilized in the region.
