Nevado de Toluca, National park in State of Mexico, Mexico
The Nevado de Toluca National Park spans 671 square kilometers, featuring a dormant volcano with two lakes inside its crater at 4,565 meters elevation.
The Mexican government established this protected area in 1936, initially covering 54,000 hectares to preserve the fourth highest peak in the country.
Pre-Hispanic communities performed ceremonies at the crater lakes, leaving offerings of copal and various artifacts that archaeologists later discovered through underwater excavations.
The park contains trails for hiking and mountain biking, with the highest drivable road in Mexico leading to viewpoints of surrounding landscapes.
Two permanent lakes, named Sun and Moon, rest within the elliptical crater measuring 2 by 1.5 kilometers at an elevation of 4,558 meters.
