Cerro de la Estrella National Park, National Park in Iztapalapa, Mexico
Located in eastern Mexico City, this national park centers around a volcanic hill reaching an elevation of 2,800 meters above sea level.
Established in 1938 with 1,100 hectares, urban development reduced the park's area to less than 200 hectares in the following decades.
The mountain holds archaeological remains from various civilizations, including temples, housing units, petroglyphs, and structures dating from 1500 BCE to 1521.
The park features picnic tables, grills, playgrounds, sports facilities, and hiking trails leading to a lookout point with views of Mexico City.
The site hosted the pre-Hispanic New Fire ceremony until 1507 and now serves as the location for the annual Passion Play of Iztapalapa.
