State of Mexico

Often overshadowed by the capital it surrounds, the Estado de Mexico (Edomex) holds some of the country’s most impressive landscapes and archaeological treasures. It is a land of high-altitude contrasts, where the arid grandeur of Teotihuacan’s pyramids gives way to the pine-scented forests of Valle de Bravo and the snow-capped peak of the Nevado de Toluca. This state serves as the ultimate escape, offering space and silence just outside the metropolis. It is a destination of weekends spent sailing on lakes, hiking volcano craters, or walking through colonial towns that feel centuries away from the urban rush. Edomex reminds travelers that the heart of Mexico is mountainous, green, and deeply historical.
