It's a very steep slope, slow down.

Ideal for a final uphill sprint and a break or as a meeting point for the group. 🚴

Amecameca de Juaréz is the municipal capital. It's a well-known town and a popular destination for visitors to the volcanoes, as it's located right at the foot of the volcanoes and is a national tourism area. There's almost everything here, plenty of food (the market, stalls, and shops), and there are bike repair shops if you need them. The plaza is large, with a traditional kiosk and church.

It is a place where even though the trees are contaminated and dry, nature abounds and the landscape looks incredible. Like a postcard.

It is a farm that apparently around the year 1535 was dedicated to the exploitation of wood. Later it served as a barracks during the War of Independence and is currently a gastronomic hotel.

The starting point for climbing the volcano ... the only place where I haven't met any Germans or German speakers for two weeks in 11 months.
