When did the volcano in Puebla, Mexico last erupt?

John,

I think you are asking about Popocateptl volcano, which started erupting Dec. 21, 1994. It seems to still send out a little ash and steam, but to not be very active now. Most people who moved away from their homes because they thought it would erupt have moved back. If Popo has more activity we will add that new information to our VolcanoWorld page about current and recent eruptions. Thanks for your question!
