Toluca, Industrial capital in central Mexico
Located at an altitude of 2,660 meters near Nevado de Toluca volcano, Toluca sits in a temperate valley, making it North America's highest major city.
The Spanish established Toluca in 1530, granting it city status in 1533, with the construction of its first church occurring shortly after the conquest.
The Cosmovitral Botanical Garden occupies a 1909 market building, containing numerous plant species and large stained glass murals depicting natural elements.
The city offers multiple transportation options, including an extensive bus network, connecting the urban center to Mexico City and surrounding metropolitan areas.
The Nevado de Toluca National Park provides winter refuge for monarch butterfly colonies, which migrate annually through its forested mountain slopes.
