Copilco was an important Mesoamerican ceremonial center, southwest of Mexico City, Mexico. Copilco is located approximately four kilometers north of Cuicuilco, both are part of the area covered by lava from several eruptions of the Xitle volcano, as of three thousand years ago.
It is very likely that founding, development and destiny of both cities had common causes, from their geographical location, and chronology.
The area is located on the west side of Coyoacán or Coyohuacán ( Nahuatl: coyō-hua-cān, 'place of coyotes') in the area covered by the lava from the volcano Xitle (according to Chronicles, one eruption of the volcano occurred on April 24, 76).
