Iztaccihuatl Volcano hike with an alpinist guide and Paso de Cortés photos, leaving Mexico City with transport and park access.
“Great guide, amazing views, bu not for the faint of heart - the altitude made this a real challenge. We’ll worth it, if you’re in shape”
A 9-hour guided volcano trek from Puebla with lunch at a traditional market. See Popocatépetl, Iztaccíhuatl, and fumaroles.
“It was wonderful. Our guide tour was so patient with me. I am disabled. I cannot walk that fast and he stayed with me and my family behind until we all got energy to walk back to the van. They truly are the best.”
Alpinist-led Iztaccíhuatl hike from Mexico City with Paso de Cortés views and park entry. Challenging altitude, 11 hours.
“The experience itself was really good! Beautiful scenery! We got to climb one more base as was planned. Wasn’t easy to reach even harder to get down but totally worth the view. Guide seemed to be new to this. He seemed not to care much about the less fit group members. We as a leading group completely left others behind. When descending group was totally separated. And everyone was pretty much on its own”
Hike between Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl with a small group, guided stops, loaner poles, and a market lunch, all from Mexico City.
“Our guide, Alberto, was great! He introduced himself to the group and made sure we all knew who each other were. He also made sure to take frequent breaks for our group to make sure everyone was ok - that altitude is more difficult than you may think! Bring something to cover your mouth! The ground looks like sand, but it's ash and it does get kicked up just by walking, so you end up breathing a lot of it in.”
A high-altitude Nevado de Toluca hike from Mexico City, with crater lagoons, guided pacing, and lunch, starting at 5:30 am.
“Our guides and driver were great! Helped us go slow, get the pacing right so that we didn't really get altitude sickness. The hike didn't gain as much elevation as I thought - which was a good thing because even though we hike at home, we were not used to this elevation. The team really took care of us including lunch after the hike and I really appreciated having them as our guides.”
Hike Nevado de Toluca from Mexico City with a private guide, crater and lagoon views, winter snow options, and hotel pickup.
“We had a lot of fun, we requested a private tour but when we got picked up we saw other people on the tour with us. Initially we were put off by this but once we arrived and started the tour the group ended up being filled with fun and friendly people so we enjoyed it very much and even had a pic-nic next to the lagoon where we all shared our food with each other. The place was magnificent, the guide Ruben is a really nice person and he shared a lot of nice stories and info about the crater. Be ready for a hike.”
Sunrise hike to El Pico del Aguila from Six Flags in Mexico City, with a local guide, safety gear, and small-group transport.
“We bought two tickets for the morning hike after we chatted with customer service to clarify some questions.”
2-day Pico de Orizaba summit trek from Mexico City, with 4x4 access, hut stay, crampon practice, and sunrise on Mexico’s glacier.
“The guides were the best, patient, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable, and made us feel safe the entire way”
Half-day hike to Puerta del Cielo from Roma Norte, with a 30m ladder climb, river, waterfall, cave, and hydro ruins. English.
“Great half day hike 😊 I had a great time together with the guide. We walked to two view points, overlooking the forest and the city.”
A private 10-hour hike from Mexico City up near Iztaccihuatl, starting at Paso de Cortés and climbing to high portillos with big views.
“Guide arrived on time, we arrived without any problems. Guide was allowing to walk in our pace. However be aware that this hike is quite physical, altitude climb is steep.”
Hike inside Nevado de Toluca’s crater, visit Laguna de la Luna and Laguna del Sol, and enjoy big views from Campanario with guides.
“Bernardo was great and accommodating to my physical fitness level. Highly recommended!”
Los Dinamos to Tláloc in Mexico City, a 6-hour hike with caves, a 30-meter staircase, and high-altitude views.
“Nos cancelaron el viaje a la hora de encuentro, ya estabamos esperando y nos dejaron plantados, recomendaría buscar otras opciones más seguras.”
Early-morning hike on Iztaccíhuatl with a mountaineer from CDMX, including Paso de Cortés history, park access, and big volcano views.
“Its was nice spot perfect weather and impressive view. Amazing About the tour medium The guide not talk much, no explation about the place. No time table no exlain where to get toilet n so one. Actually just more like a bus ride. Its oke for 40usd but the trip was 100usd. Kind of to much for less service”
Ajusco sunrise hike in Mexico City with drone photos, breakfast, and small-group views of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl.
“I had a wonderful experience watching the sunrise in Ajusco when I went to Mexico City alone. The hike was nice and the view was just amazing!!! We met fellow hikers on top and got to see some cute dogs. I would recommend dressing warm and bringing a good quality camera.”
A guided Dinamos Forest hike near Mexico City, mixing forest trails with water history, dynamo ruins, and Oyamel tree sights. 5 hours.
“A beautiful hike through the forest with a very nice, knowledgeable, English-speaking guide. The nature with the river and the views of the mountains were amazing. We were also shown some murals in the neighborhood and could ask all our questions about (the history of) Mexico and nature.”
