The Nevado de Toluca, still referred to as “Xinantécatl” (Naked Man), is a Mexican volcano in the State of Mexico, between the Toluca and Tenango valleys (Matlatzinco Valley). It lies 22 km southwest of Toluca, State of Mexico.
Archaeologist Arturo Montero García, who has carried out an underwater archaeology project at the site and found several pre-Hispanic settlements, explains that the Codex Xólotl, a pictograph from that era (1542-1546 AD), depicts the Nevado de Toluca as a hill with nine points called Chicnauhtécatl. It is on the list of active volcanoes in Mexico.
