Hi everybody! I’m Ricardo Lopez, or "Buzz" to my friends (haha), from Mexico City. Ten years ago I got involved in trail running and I’d like to share with you some 3 word addresses from two of my favorite places to run and hike – Nevada de Toluca and Desierto de los Leones. Both are pretty close to the city and are really popular with local runners.
Nevado de Toluca is an inactive volcano 80kms from Mexico City and its surroundings are also a National Park. There are plenty of trees at the bottom and then arid terrain at the top. You can walk or jog to the crater at the top and enjoy breathtaking views over the valley on the way up. Here are some special locations on the trail at around 4,000 meters above sea level. Here are my top 3 word addresses:
You get gorgeous views of the valley from here on a sunny day.

This is a National Park within the limits of Mexico City. There are plenty of trail roads for walking or running and also a paved road through it. You can choose from many paths in the forest with gorgeous views. Here are my top 3 word addresses:
A spot right between the paved road and a cliff with a great view of the valley.
