Tláloc, Sacred mountain and archaeological complex in Ixtapaluca, Mexico.
Mount Tláloc rises to 4151 meters above sea level, featuring a ceremonial center spanning 4600 square meters at its summit.
The Triple Alliance of Tenochtitlán, Texcoco, and Tlacopan constructed the temple complex during the pre-Hispanic period to honor the rain deity.
The mountain peak contains five rock formations representing Tlaloque spirits, which according to Aztec beliefs controlled rainfall patterns in Mesoamerica.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by following the hiking trail from Federal Highway 150, starting at Río Frío de Juárez.
Between February 7 and 12, the sun aligns with Pico de Orizaba and La Malinche mountains, creating a shadow phenomenon across the Valley of Mexico.
