From Mexico City: Hike Iztaccihuatl Volcano with an Alpinist – Mexico City, Mexico

EXPERIENCE:

Depart Mexico City and spend the day touring the Izta-Popo National Park. Head to the foothills of Popocatépetl to start your hike up Iztaccíhuatl from the base of the dormant volcanic mountain. Take in the beautiful scenery and fresh air as you walk in a small group.

Your own skill level will determine how high the hike will go, so you won’t feel strained beyond your abilities. Popocatépetl is Mexico’s second highest peak and part of the tour offers splendid views of the valley and village of Amecameca below. Marvel at the 3,700-meter high mountain of La Joya in the famous Paso de Cortés, named after the Spanish conquerors who crossed it on their way to Mexico-Tenochtitlan in 1519. 

Then, return to Mexico City and reflect on the tranquility of the mountain and the miraculous wonder of nature.
