Magdalena-Haltepeque is a municipal district in the southwestern part of Mexico City, which is part of the State of Mexico. The municipality is located in the watershed of Lake Texcoco, at an altitude of about 2,240 meters above sea level, and has a total area of about 28.7 square kilometers. Its name is a blend of two ancient names: "Magdalena" from the colonial parish of Santa Maria Magdalena, and "Haltepeque" from the Nahuatl word for "land of dunes".
The region has been inhabited by Aboriginal people since ancient times and retains a wealth of traditional festivals, such as the Magdalena Festival, which is held in July each year. The economy is based on agriculture and handicrafts, and is particularly famous for agave plant cultivation and pottery production. Due to its proximity to Mexico City, the area has gradually developed in recent years into a residential and light industrial area, but it still retains its rural character and traditional markets.
Magdalena-Haltepeque is located in a volcanic zone with a unique landscape of semi-arid vegetation. It is surrounded by protected natural areas such as the Haltepeque Ecological Park, which is an important ecotourism destination in the region. The city is well connected to the capital through the Mexican Federal Highway 134.
