Nexapa River

The Nexapa River flows over igneous rocks from Popocatepetl's slopes, creating a canyon exceeding 1000 meters in depth through sedimentary terrain.

The river's trajectory through volcanic and sedimentary zones reflects millions of years of geological evolution in the Sierra Madre del Sur region.

Communities along the Nexapa River maintain traditional agricultural practices, utilizing its waters for crop irrigation and sustaining local food production.

Located at 800 meters above sea level, the river provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, rafting, and natural observation.

Multiple streams converge from Popocatepetl's southern and western slopes to form the initial flow pattern of the Nexapa River system.
