The closest mountains would be the Popocatepetl volcano (still active, by the way), which is 70 km (43 mi) southeast of Mexico City and looks just like Mt. Rainier, in Washington state. Next to it is the Iztaccihuatl volcano (white woman in Nahuatl), which has four peaks that give it the appearance of a sleeping woman, hence the name.
Mexico City sits atop the remnants of a lake system that began its drainage when Aztecs founded their capital city Tenochtitlan in 1325. The term "Texcoco Lake" now refers only to a small area surrounded by salt marshes 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of Mexico City, which covers the ancient lake bed. Also there are small remnants of the lakes of Xochimilco, Chalco, and Zumpango.
