Such a great day exploring the National Park and seeing the volcanoes! We were able to hike a bit farther as a group, which was nice of our guide. He then took us to an authentic local lunch spot before driving back. Overall a nice day!

Carlos was a fantastic guide. great fun, very helpful and goes out of his way regularly to make sure we have everything we need. the trek was so scenic and not too hard for a 13km bush track walk.

Beautiful hike surrounded by Volcanoes and meadows! Our guide Alan was excellent! He prepared each person with a sandwich , drinks and snacks that you eat overlooking Popo Volcanoe. Beautiful ! We finished up on the ride back to MC with some amazing tacos and a Cafe de Olla, traditional Mexican coffee. Was great to explore the wonderful nature so close to the city and enjoy the peace and quiet. Thank you Alan for a lovely day !
