A wonderful place to visit, it's currently easier to access by vehicle (to a certain extent) and with parking. However, if you're someone who enjoys climbing mountains over 4,000 meters from the bottom, I'm sure you'll love the challenge. Don't forget that these are mountains, and weather changes can happen at unexpected times, so it's best to be prepared for anything, bringing hydration and food necessary for the effort and the weather. In the craters, you'll find two bodies of fresh water that form the Laguna del Sol and Laguna de la Luna. In the 1990s, you could dive at altitude in the icy waters. Visibility is very low, so it was done with instruments and good orientation, a dry suit, or a wetsuit for icy waters. Currently, only research personnel can do so with a special permit, as it is an ecological and archaeological reserve. Admission is fee-based, and on weekends, it's very crowded, so be patient and always respect the place. Leave it better than you found it, and enjoy! You can also get there by gravel bike or mountain bike, but achieving this requires good training due to the incline and altitude. Always remember: Respect the Mountain.

The Quila Lagoon, located at 3010 m.a.s.l. (19°4.5', N 99°18.9' W), has an area of 5.2 ha, is situated in a steep valley, surrounded by a forest of Pinus montezumae, however, on the western slope the trees were cut down and currently this area is converted into pasture. The lagoon is fed naturally by two streams on the northern slope, it also has a sinkhole that controls the water table, which was formed when the infrastructure for water extraction was built. Both for the above reason, and due to the changes between the dry and rainy seasons, the water level in the lagoon varies considerably. In recent years, a progressive drying up has been observed due to water extraction, which directly affects the vegetation. The study area has a semi-cold subhumid climate, presents a summer rainfall regime (from April to October), the annual average temperature is in the order of 5° to 12° C. The substrate of Laguna Quila is made up of clay with a high percentage of organic matter. > Acta Botánica Mexicana ISSN: 0187-7151

Among the highest peaks in the region, this long-extinct volcano Nevado de Toluca (also known as Xinantécatl) is Mexico’s fourth-tallest peak. Nevado has two summits on the crater rim, each worth hiking for magnificent views across two snow-fringed crater lakes – Sol and Luna. The views from here to del sol is super good!

The air is getting quite thin once you get closer to the top. Allow yourself enough time to get up there. We had to take a lot of breaks and needed around 4 to 5 hours to get there!
