Admission: Free (natural feature)

Jocotitlán is a volcanic peak in the State of Mexico, Mexico, notable as a prominent highland landmark in the region and part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.

The mountain offers panoramic views across nearby valleys and is a visible landmark from surrounding towns and highways. Trails and rural roads approach the lower slopes from the town of Jocotitlán and neighbouring communities, where the peak forms a dominant skyline feature.

The cone and surrounding topography were formed by volcanic activity associated with the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt; the peak has long been a geographic reference for local communities. There are no widely recorded recent eruptions in the modern historical record for the summit.

The volcano sits in central Mexico within the State of Mexico, northwest of the Toluca basin and to the west-northwest of the Mexico City metropolitan area. The nearest settlements are the town of Jocotitlán and other small municipalities in the same state.
