Amecameca

Amecameca is a municipality placed in the eastern panhandle of Mexico State among Mexico City and the Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl volcanos of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is located on federal toll road a hundred and fifteen which leads to Cuautla, that is known as the Volcano Route. This location is famous with weekend site visitors from Mexico City, Puebla and Morelos to revel in the surroundings of the mountains, eat neighborhood ingredients, go to the Sanctuary of the Senor del Sacromonte, the Panohaya Hacienda and different sights.

However, while Popocatepetl is lively, tourism here drops dramatically. The area gets a big variety of site visitors during the yearly Carnival/Festival del Senor del Sacromonte, which extends over the week containing Ash Wednesday and is taken into consideration to be one of the maximum important gala's in Mexico State. The name Amecameca comes from Nahuatl. It has been interpreted to intend “place where the papers signal or mark,” or “paper used ceremoniously.
