Better known as La Malinche or Malintzin, it is located between the states of Tlaxcala and Puebla, Mexico. At 4,420 meters above sea level, it is the fifth highest mountain in Mexico. Part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, it is a seismically active volcano and is estimated to have formed 25 million years ago.
