Ixtapaluca lies at the southeastern edge of the Mexico City metropolitan area in the State of Mexico, at the foot of the volcanoes. It is largely residential, including very large planned housing developments, and is a commuter settlement.
The municipality is residential rather than a destination, though the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl dominate the eastern horizon and the national park between them is within reach. Central Mexico City with its museums lies northwest.
Buses and shared vans connect toward the eastern end of the metro network, and journeys into the centre are long. The highway toward Puebla passes through and is heavily used.
The high-altitude climate is mild year-round, with a summer rainy season of heavy afternoon storms. The drier winter months are sunnier with cold nights, and the volcanoes are clearest then.
Mexico uses the MXN, calling code +52.
Mexico uses the peso, and Spanish is the language with little English spoken locally. Greetings precede business, and cash is the norm for everyday purchases.
