Exploring and Hiking Nevado de Toluca and crater lakes

Details

The Nevado de Toluca is a large stratovolcano in central Mexico, located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) west of Mexico City near the city of Toluca in the State of Mexico, around 2 hours from Mexico City. It is generally cited as the fourth highest of Mexico's peaks, after Pico de Orizaba, Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl.

There are two crater lakes on the floor of the basin that we can visit on a hike of about 3.5 hours, at about 4,200 m (13,800 ft), the larger Lago del Sol (Sun Lake) and the smaller, but deeper, Lago de la Luna (Moon Lake). If you just like to hike up to the crater to enjoy the great views that is also possible.

The trip is not too heavy, we take it slow to get adjusted to the height; you can make the trip as heavy as you want, during this great encounter with nature.
