Nevado de Toluca is a stratovolcano located in central Mexico, approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) west of Mexico City. It is the fourth highest peak in the country, with an elevation of about 4,680 meters (15,354 feet) above sea level. The volcano is also known by its Nahuatl name, Xinantécatl, which is often interpreted to mean "Naked Lord." The summit features two prominent crater lakes, Laguna del Sol and Laguna de la Luna, which are popular destinations for hikers and visitors.
