The most densely populated of the country's 32 states, Estado de Mexico encompasses the area originally controlled by the Aztec Empire. Probably inhabited as long as 20,000 years ago, this state surrounds the national capital on three sides and contains a mostly rugged mountain landscape with an extinct volcano as its centerpiece. For most visitors, sightseeing in Estado de Mexico begins or ends in Toluca, featuring a colonial-era city center encircled by busy neighborhoods filled with galleries, museums, shopping arcades, and pleasant plazas. Another popular place to visit in Estado de Mexico is Teotihuacan, the biggest pre-Columbian urban center in the Americas known for its enormous centuries-old pyramids.
