It is the fourth highest of Mexico's peaks, after Pico de Orizaba, Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. The volcano and the area around it is now a national park.

Description The volcano has a wide summit caldera which is open to the east. The highest summit, the Pico del Fraile (Friar's Peak), is on ...
