San Cristóbal Ecatepec, Municipal seat in Ecatepec de Morelos, Mexico
San Cristóbal Ecatepec stands at 2,260 meters above sea level within the elongated valley stretching from the Valley of Mexico to the Sierra de Guadalupe.
The name Ecatepec originates from Nahuatl language, meaning hill of the wind god, where Mexican independence leader José María Morelos met his death in 1815.
The Church of San Cristóbal, constructed in 1562 by Dominican friars, remains a central religious structure amid the municipal administration buildings.
The municipality connects to Mexico City through multiple transportation options including Line B of the Metro system, Mexibús lines, and the Mexicable aerial cable car.
The Piedra Equinoccial at Cerro Ehécatl draws residents each March 21st for traditional spring equinox ceremonies marking the arrival of the first sun.
