The andesitic-to-dacitic Romeral stratovolcano lies at the northern end of the Ruiz-Tolima volcanic chain, NW of Cerro Bravo volcano, and east of the towns of Neira and Aranzazu. It has produced two young Plinian pumice deposits covering areas to the NW. The pumice deposits are separated by a soil layer radiocarbon dated at about 8,460 and 7,340 years BP.
