Review:
Ecatepec de Morelos is a sprawling city and municipality that is located in central Mexico, about five miles northeast of Mexico City. The city is typically referred to only as ‘Ecatepec’ among the locals, derived from Nahuati, which means ‘windy hill’. This high-altitude city features several scenic areas, important cultural sights, and fine restaurants. Ecatepec is home to Mexico’s newest Catholic Cathedral, Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, as well as a number of colonial-era churches and the Casa de los virreyes – a colonel edifice. The city boasts a plethora of intriguing attractions for visitors to explore, including Lagunas de Zempoala National Park, Mexicable, and the Parque Ecoligico Ethecatl.
