La Malinche National Park is located in the state of Tlaxcala, which is in the central part of Mexico. The park is east of Mexico City and about 44 kilometers (27 miles) from the capital city of the state of Tlaxcala.
Volcano
The La Malinche—Matlalcueitl volcano, which is part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, is located within the park. The volcano reaches an elevation of 4,462 metres (14,639 feet) above sea level. It is often used by climbers for training and to adjust to high altitudes before attempting taller volcanoes nearby.
The volcano has a gentle slope, and its location near Mexico City makes it a common destination for weekend trips. A paved road leads to the summit of the volcano. The "Centro Vacacional IMSS La Malintzi" on the volcano includes 40 cabins, a camping area, and some recreational facilities.
