We wish to thank Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for some of the information on this page. We share information with Wikipedia. Xitle (Nahuatl, "navel") is a volcano in the Ajusco range in Cumbres del Ajusco National Park. It is located in the Tlalpan borough in the southwestern part of Mexico City. It is an ash cone volcano with a conical form, round base, altitude of approximately 300m, and a slope between 30° and 40°. Xitle registered its last eruption in 400. Among the consequences of this eruption were the formation of the Pedregal de San Ángel, to the south of the Mexican Federal District. Cuicuilco, one of the most refined cities of Mesoamerica was destroyed by one of Xitle's eruptions in 50 BC and was covered by lava. The subsequent diaspora of the Cuicuilcans, and the attendant diffusion of their culture across most of central Mexico, influenced important cultural changes in the nearby power center of Teotihuacan.

The Mexico City International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México or AICM), also called Benito Juárez International Airport (IATA: MEX, ICAO: MMMX) is the major commercial airport that serves Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. It is also Mexico's and Latin America's busiest airport! We would suggest using this airport if you wish to visit the Xitle Volcano Vent. We also would suggest visiting Xitle Volcano Vent as a short side trip, when you are visiting Cuicuilco Pyramid Archaeological Ruins. Tlalpan, Mexico City D.F. Mexico. It is not that far out of your way! There are many very good hotels and motels in the area, and if you need a place to stay; Priceline.com can arrange that for you. In fact, we think they are the best way to do it! We have personally, booked flights, hotels, and vacations, through Priceline.com and we can highly recommend them. Their website is very easy to use! We have some links to Priceline.com on this page, since they can arrange all of your air flights, hotels and car. We of course, appreciate your use of the advertising on our pages, since it helps us to keep our pages active. We also have links on this page, that will connect you with several of the best hotels in Mexico City. Hotels that we have personally used! We could, also suggest getting a hotel, and then letting them arrange for either a car, or a tour of Mexico City. If you call their Concierge Services, ahead of your arrival, all of this can be pre-arranged for you. We have used this method, many times, when traveling in Mexico. We have found it to be safe and it works!!! We have never experienced a problem, doing it this way!
