Popocateptl: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
70 km from Mexico City Popocatépetl is a legendary volcano which, despite being 5,452 meters high, can be difficult to see.
My suggestion
You need to get up very early to have a hope of seeing it. Once the sun is too high, it becomes invisible.
Popocatépetl is an enormous smoking volcano close to Mexico City.
My suggestion
You can go to the foot of the volcano, in the small town of Amecameca. You will have a wonderful view of Popocatépetl and his Aztec princess, Ixtaccíhuatl , ("the sleeping woman" in Nahuatl).
