About Popocatépetl
Popocatépetl rises to about 5,400 metres between Mexico City and Puebla and is one of Mexico's most active volcanoes, often sending up plumes of gas and ash. Its neighbour, Iztaccíhuatl, lies just to the north, and both can carry snow in winter. These Popocatépetl live cams, from the broadcaster Webcams de México, watch the volcano from its flanks and from the towns below.
Which Popocatépetl webcam to check first
Start with Tlamacas or Altzomoni for close views of the cone and its plume. Amecameca shows the volcano from the town on the State of Mexico side, and the Puebla camera looks across the city towards Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl.
Before you go to Popocatépetl
Access close to the crater is restricted. Check CENAPRED's volcanic alert level and the National Meteorological Service forecast before travelling near the volcano, as ash can affect roads and flights.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
