Sierra de Ajusco-Chichinauhtzin, Mountain range between Mexico City and Morelos, Mexico
The Sierra de Ajusco-Chichinauhtzin extends across southern Mexico City, containing over one hundred volcanic cones and numerous peaks reaching elevations up to 3,937 meters.
During the Quaternary period, intense volcanic activity shaped this mountain range, transforming the lacustrine basin of Mexico into its current geological structure.
The mountain range holds numerous pre-Hispanic paths where local communities maintain agricultural festivals featuring traditional dance ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails and observation points throughout the range, with cooler temperatures prevailing at higher altitudes during daytime hours.
The biological corridor encompasses sixteen extinct volcanoes and supports 1,348 species of insects, 237 bird species, and numerous endemic plant varieties.
