It is 60 km south of Toluca, the state's capital, and 120 km south of Mexico City by the Federal Road 55. The word Ixtapan comes from Nahuatl. There are two theories as to the origin of the name. The first one states that it is composed of iztal, which means 'salt', and pan, which means 'over' or 'in'. The second one states that it comes from iztac which means 'white'; atl which means 'water'; and pan which means 'in white waters'. The phrase de la Sal is Spanish for 'of salt'.
