Macuiltepetl
Macuiltépec or Mackuiltépec or Macuiltépetl is the name of a volcano and ecological park, located in the center of the city of Xalapa, Mexico. Toponymy The meaning of Macuiltépetl in Nahuatl could be (the) 'fifth hill' or 'hill five', while the variant Macuiltépec (<''mākwil-tēpe-k'') would be 'on hill five'. On the other hand, recent research funded by the Patronato del Parque and based on field, topographical, pictorial and iconographic studies (Aguilar-Rodríguez, S.H., 2009) He mentions that the correct name should be "The Mountain of the Five Peaks". On plans from the end of the 19th century (such as that of Manuel Rivera Cambas) it has been possible to verify that the hill had five promontories that stood out from some point on the horizon. Currently, due to erosion and various causes, only two of the 5 peaks mentioned above are perceived. |
