Volcano in Mexico State, Mexico. 1,300 year-old ceramic fragments and greenstone beads were found in the crater of this volcano, representing the earliest ritual objects found so far at the high mountain ceremonial space.
The Lake of the Moon and the Lake of the Sun are two lakes formed in the crater of the extinct Nevado de Toluca Volcano. Offering artefacts indicate that people used the volcano and the lakes as sacred sites from as early as 100BC and into the era of the Spanish Conquest.
It is the 4th highest peak in Mexico. Archaeologists have been diving in the Sun and Moon lagoons in the crater at 4,300 metres altitude.
