The Nevado
de Toluca National Park is located southwest of the city of Toluca, Mexico State.
It was decreed a park in 1936, primarily to protect the Nevado de
Toluca volcano, which forms nearly the park’s entire surface and is the fourth
highest peak in Mexico. It is 135 km from Mexico City. The volcano has
been long extinct and has a large crater in which are two shallow
lakes. There are a number of archeological sites in the park, including
the lakes themselves, which contain numerous offerings of copal and other items
that were deposited during the pre-Hispanic period. The park offers
activities such as hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding as well as
limited skiing facilities. Due to its altitude, the summit of the Nevado is
significantly colder than the surrounding area. [Wiki]
