Best Volcanoes in Mexico: Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl

Posted on Friday 17 de August, 2007 - Tagged as Ecotourism in Mexico, Mexico Tourism, Tourist Destinations in Mexico,

When not obscured by Mexico City‘s famous smog, the country’s second- and third-highest mountains dominate the skyline south of the capital, with the classic, symmetrical cone of “Popo” rising above the four irregular peaks of craterless “Izta.” It’s an iconic image that inspired the Aztec version of Romeo and Juliet, in which the warrior Popo stands inconsolably over the dead princess Izta for all time.

Popocatépatl (“Smoking Mountain” in the Náhuatl language), whose explosions were recorded in Aztec codices, has been closed to climbers since it roared back to life in 1994; although it has since simmered down, Popo still sends up the occasional ash plume. Hikers can still explore forested trails, including educational nature paths, at lower elevations. Climbers, who for decades have used Popo’s icy slopes as a training ground for Himalayan peaks, can instead ascend long-dormant Iztaccíhuatl (“White Lady”).  Go to Mexico and live and unique experience in Popocatépatl…!Source:sfgate.com
