Depicting a grasshopper on a hill ('chapul' – grasshopper, and 'tepec' – hill). The lower part represents water and the settlement of the Aztecs (Mexica) in the area. This is the symbol of Chapultepec Park in Mexico City, which is in the area that was originally named 'grasshopper hill' by the Toltecs. Today, various statues representing this symbol are located around the park.
