We present a brief description of the Colombian geophysical monitoring networks, mainly from the seismic and volcanic points of view. We present also a description of two significant events that defined the development of the instrumental geophysical infrastructure in Colombia: (1) the 31 March 1983 Popayán earthquake (Mw 5.5, H 4 km deep) and (2) the eruption of the 13 November 1985 Nevado del Ruiz Volcano (VEI-3). Seven geophysical networks (seismological, strong motion, volcanological, and Global Positioning System/Global Navigation Satellite System [GPS/GNSS] networks) that are currently monitoring the Colombian territory are described in terms of the operational coverage, technical parameters, and scientific purposes
