Nevado de Toluca
5 hours
Nevado de Toluca, meaning "naked lord" in Nahuatl, stands as Mexico's fourth-highest mountain. This extinct volcano, soaring at 4,600 meters, boasts nine peaks and two picturesque lagoons, perfect for hiking and the possibility of glimpsing the rare teporingos or volcano rabbits, native to the area. For those inclined and in good physical condition, can ascend to one of its popular peaks, Águila or Fraile. These peaks encircle part of the volcano crater, offering stunning views of the Sol and Luna lagoons.

Toluca

Toluca's name originates from the Nahuatl word Tollocan, signifying "place where the god Tolo is". Stroll beneath the grand nineteenth-century portals, which are the largest in Mexico, and admire the architectural diversity of the buildings, reflecting various styles such as baroque, neoclassical, modernist, and contemporary.
