Parque Ecológico Macuiltépetl

Xalapa


Atop a hill north of the city, this 40-hectare park is actually the heavily wooded cap of an extinct volcano. Spiraling to the top, the park’s paths are a treasure for the city’s robust fraternity of joggers, and provide expansive views of Xalapa and the surrounding area.

The park includes a small botanical museum and an observation platform both open 10am to 6pm.
