The volcano is situated between two large urban areas: the city of Puebla, located 27 miles [44 km] to the east and the city of Mexico, located some 40 miles [70 km] to the northwest.
See vulkaan asetseb kahe suure linnapiirkonna vahel — 44 kilomeetri kaugusele itta jääb Puebla linn ja umbes 70 kilomeetri kaugusele loodesse México linn.
