Dawn in CDMX

Mexico City before sunrise from a high window: dark blue clouds, an orange glow over the volcanoes on the horizon, and the city lights below.
Dawn in CDMX Polanco September 2026

On most mornings I enjoy this sunrise after my workout. In the background you can see the silhouettes of the two great volcanoes of Mexico City, Popocatépetl (El Popo) and Iztaccíhuatl. El Popo is an active stratovolcano whose name means "Smoking Mountain" in Nahuatl.
