Iztaccíhuatl–Popocatépetl National Park
Parque nacional Iztaccíhuatl-Popocatépetl
Iztaccíhuatl–Popocatépetl National Park in Mexico is a stunning natural reserve that encompasses the iconic twin volcanoes, Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl. Established in 1935, the park covers an area of approximately 25,679 hectares across the states of Mexico, Puebla, and Morelos. The park is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and rich biodiversity, which include pine and fir forests, alpine grasslands, and a variety of wildlife such as deer, rabbits, and the elusive Mexican volcano rabbit. Popocatépetl, often called "El Popo," is an active stratovolcano and one of Mexico's most famous peaks, frequently emitting smoke and ash. In contrast, Iztaccíhuatl, known as the "Sleeping Woman" due to its resemblance to a reclining female figure, is a dormant volcano and a popular destination for hikers and climbers.
