Description

This volcano is called Popocatépetl comes from the Nahuatl words popōca 'it smokes' and tepētl 'mountain', thus Smoking Mountain; the name Don Goyo comes from the mountain's association in the lore of the region with San Gregorio (St. Gregory), "Goyo" being a nickname-like short form of Gregorio..

In December 2000, tens of thousands of people were evacuated by the government based on the warnings of scientists. The volcano then made its largest display in 1200 years. On 25-12-2005 occurred a new display, which caused a plume of smoke and ash three miles high and the expulsion of lava.

In Aztec mythology, Popocatépetl was a brave warrior who loved the maiden Iztaccihuatl.
