Toluca is the state capital of México State in central Mexico, located at Template:Coor dm. It is only a 45 minute drive west of Mexico City and 30 minutes from its fast-growing suburb, Santa Fe.
In 2003, Toluca had an estimated population of about 475,000 people. The climate is cool, particularly at night, not surprising considering its altitude of 2,680 m (8,790 ft) above sea level. Toluca is an important industrial center, with a large Chrysler plant and many other factories. It also has excellent educational facilities, including a campus of the prestigious Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM).
The municipality of Metepec adds another 450,000 to the population and directly borders the city of Toluca.
