Jocotitlán, Stratovolcano in Atlacomulco Municipality, Mexico.

The Jocotitlán volcano rises 3,910 meters above sea level in the northern section of Toluca Valley within the Mexican Volcanic Belt.

The volcano produced at least two confirmed eruptions over the past 10,000 years, leading geologists to classify it as potentially active.

The Mazahua people named it Nguemore while the Otomi called it Gumidi, both referencing its sacred status in their traditions.

A 19-kilometer winding road leads from the town base to the microwave antenna installations near the mountain summit.

The Catholic chapel built at 3,670 meters on the volcano slopes ranks among the highest religious buildings in Mexico.
