Nevado de Toluca, meaning "naked lord" in Nahuatl, stands as Mexico's fourth-highest mountain. This extinct volcano, soaring at 4,600 meters, boasts nine peaks and two picturesque lagoons, perfect for hiking and the possibility of glimpsing the rare teporingos or volcano rabbits, native to the area. For those inclined and in good physical condition, can ascend to one of its popular peaks, Águila or Fraile. These peaks encircle part of the volcano crater, offering stunning views of the Sol and Luna lagoons.
