Cerro de Moctezuma

The mountain extends across 91,000 square meters of terrain, featuring natural rock formations and diverse vegetation typical of Mexican highlands.

Archaeological excavations at Cerro de Moctezuma have revealed artifacts and calendar petroglyphs from both Pre-Classic and Post-Classic periods.

The mountain holds significance in indigenous traditions, with remnants of walls suggesting the presence of a Mexica observatory or shrine.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, requiring proper preparation for elevation changes and varying weather conditions throughout seasons.

The mountain stands as one of the last remaining green areas within the urbanized region, protected by local community movements against development.
