Amecameca

Among the towns of the State of Mexico, Amecameca is distinguished by its setting on the lower slopes of the Iztaccíhuatl–Popocatépetl volcanic range. The town lies on the route toward Paso de Cortés, the mountain pass between the two volcanoes, amid pine forest and farmland shaped by this highland terrain. Its centre includes the Parish of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and the hilltop Sanctuary of Sacromonte, an important local pilgrimage site. Amecameca also belongs to the cultural landscape around Hacienda Panoaya, associated with the childhood of writer Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.
