Nevado de Toluca (Xinantécatl)
Nevado de Toluca is a dormant stratovolcano whose collapsed summit forms a wide, walkable caldera holding two crater lakes, the Sun and the Moon. It is one of Mexico's most accessible high-altitude peaks, with a non-technical standard route from a national-park hut at over 4,000 m, though thinner air, exposed ridgelines, and sudden weather still make it a serious high-altitude objective rather than a casual walk. Its crater lakes were also pre-Hispanic ritual sites, with copal and other offerings recovered from their waters.
