Things to do in

La Malinche National Park

Starting with a pickup from your accommodation in Mexico City, you’ll depart the city and head towards Malintzin. Here you will start an incredible walk crossing a beautiful conifer wood to arrive at a mountain meadow where we will be able to see the objective of your hike.   Climbing the side of the mountain, you will find magnificent landscapes with the highest mountain in Mexico, Pico de Orizaba, to your left and, to your right, the twin volcanoes of Popocateptl and Iztaccihuatl.   Walk along the ridge of the mountain to reach the objective of the summit, the 5th-highest mountain in Mexico at 4,500 meters above sea level. Bask in the glory of your achievement as you eat a picnic lunch before descending back to Malintzin where you can enjoy a lovely rewarding meal before returning to Mexico City.

The first day we will climb Malinche, the which is the 5th largest mountain in the country. To climb the mountain it takes a day of acclimatization, that a person accustomed to exercise can bear No problem, all promotions are different, but really with views impressive. The last days is when the challenge turns interesting since we will climb the Iztaccihuatl and Pico de Orizaba, which are the 3rd and 1st largest mountains in Mexico (the 2nd is Popocatépetl, which is an active volcano and cannot be climbed). The Iztaccíhuatl is a beautiful mountain with two glaciers, one located in the belly and the other on the chest, and even though it's not a mountain of a lot of technique, it does require a excellent physical condition due to the height and how long it will take us to reach the top. The Pico de Orizaba, being the tip of Mexico, is one of the highest mountains complete that our country has, since starts with a sandbank, then we will have a rocky area called “el labyrinth” and at the end the magnificent glacier Jamapa that will take us to the top.

After pickup from your hotel lobby, head straight to the La Malinche National Park for your adventure up the dormant volcano. After a quick stop for coffee and tea, you’ll begin your 4-hour journey through 2,000 feet of altitude up to a prime viewpoint. Gaze down the rocky slopes upon the surrounding cities and vast plains of the national park. Upon arrival at a scenic viewpoint at a height of 12,467 feet, you’ll break for lunch and for photo ops. Afterwards, you’ll begin the roughly 2.5-hour descent down the picturesque slopes of the volcano. After a full day of stunning mountain exploration, you’ll be transferred back to your accommodation in Puebla.
