Nevado de Toluca National Park is a popular recreation and tourist area 40 km from Toluca, the capitol of Mexico State in Central Mexico. The park extends over an area of 51,000 acres surrounding a large volcano with a 1.5 km wide caldera featuring two lakes in its basin. Nevado de Toluca, also known by the Nahuatl name Xinantecatl, is the fourth-highest mountain in Mexico with a height of 4680 meters.
You'll need a car to get to the park, either a rental or a taxi. The park is only about 40 km from the city of Toluca, but it's a very slow trip through congested areas until you get to mountainous roads.
