It may look like just a mountain, but if you look closer, you might notice the shape of a woman. Aztec legend tells us that the mountain peaks formed over the body of a girl who died from a broken heart. According to legend, an emperor promised a warrior, Popocatépetl, that he could marry his daughter if he went to battle and came back alive.

This upset Iztaccíhuatl very much and she died; some say she died from sadness. When Popocatépetl finally came back from war, he found Iztaccíhuatl dead.
