Indios Verdes is a station on the Mexico City Metro. Indios Verdes, located in the northern reaches of Mexico City, is the current terminal station for the Metro's Line 3. ''Indios Verdes'' literally means "Green Indians". The station and its surrounding area have this name because of nearby monuments to two Aztec emperors, Itzcoatl and Ahuizotl. The two statues – originally planned to be sited in a more central location on Paseo de la Reforma – were made of cast bronze, and the metal has turned green with the passage of time and the effects of the weather. Because of this, people began to call the monuments ''los indios verdes''. The Metro Indios Verdes station logo depicts the statues' silhouettes. The station has two island platforms, one for arriving and one for departing trains. Metro Indios Verdes station plays an important role in transportation for both Mexico City and areas of the surrounding state of México. The station has many entrances and exits, and it connects with many bus and microbuses routes, most of them serving areas in the Estado de México such as Lechería, Tlalnepantla de Baz, Texcoco, towns like Tepexpan and Otumba, and the archaeological zone of Teotihuacán. This station is located near the Mexico City to Nuevo Laredo highway.
