Mexico Nevado de Toluca
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. It is generally cited as the fourth highest of Mexico's peaks, after Pico de Orizaba, Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, although by some measurements, Sierra Negra is slightly higher. The volcano and the area around it is now a national park.
Photography Tips
Wide angle lend and tripod. Sunset and sunrise are the best times
Travel Information
Getting to the Nevado to Toluca is actually far easier than you might imagine, particularly if you have access to a car (or, better yet, a kind friend with a car). You can simply whiz out of Mexico City, following the signs to Toluca, and then once you start seeing signs for the Nevado, follow those instead. Everything’s surprisingly well signposted and easy to follow, even if you’re not used to driving in Mexico.
