Malinche, Dormant volcano in Tlaxcala and Puebla, Mexico.
La Malinche rises to 4,461 meters above sea level, featuring multiple side peaks and diverse terrain from forests to rocky surfaces.
The volcano formed over 30 million years ago during the Paleogene period, with its last eruption occurring approximately 3,100 years ago.
The Tlaxcaltecs named the peak Matlalcueitl, meaning Lady of the Blue Skirt, connecting it to their rain and song deity.
The national park provides accommodation in cabins at 3,080 meters elevation, with hiking trails leading through different climate zones to the summit.
In 1968, a misunderstanding led local residents to attack university climbers, marking a dark chapter in the mountain's modern history.
