San Juan Ixtayopan, Agricultural town in Tláhuac, Mexico.
San Juan Ixtayopan stands at 2240 meters above sea level, surrounded by natural landscapes including Volcán Teuhtli and Cerro La Palma mountain ranges.
The settlement originated as an agricultural village around 1200 BCE, later developing into a Xochimilca settlement before becoming part of Mexico City's urban area.
During Easter week, residents create colored sawdust carpets across the streets at dawn, maintaining a connection to their traditional religious practices.
The town maintains modern infrastructure with 99 percent of homes equipped with electricity and water services, while offering local markets and food establishments.
The name Ixtayopan comes from Nahuatl language elements meaning 'place where whiteness abounds', reflecting the area's indigenous linguistic heritage.
