Description
Ideal for a short getaway adventure, Nevado de Toluca (4680 m/15,354 ft) is one of the most stunning spots in Mexico. Follow us on this 1-day tour and discover this famous natural treasure!
Nevado de Toluca is in the State of Mexico, surrounded by the valleys of Toluca and Tenango. Due to its proximity to Mexico city, it’s one of the most popular climbing spots in the country. During weekends, a lot of climbers and nature lovers visit this volcano to reach its summit or just to explore its two beautiful lakes known as Laguna del Sol and Laguna de la Luna.
Our proposal is to ascend through the Cañada del Oso. This path will take us all the way to the top of the main summit known as Pico del Fraile. Once we reach the top, we’ll enjoy the panoramic views of this crater’s two beautiful lagoons. On our way back, we can descend through the same path; walk towards the two lagoons or choose an even more challenging route and head towards the other peak known as Pico del Aguila, located just 59 m (180 ft) lower. Please keep in mind that all participants, no matter what route they decide to explore, need to be physically fit.

What people are saying about 3Summits
Iain
The 3Summits team were amazing - perfect coordination from start to finish by Karla, then our guides for La Malinche and Pico de Orizaba were fantastic. Also amazing food and accommodation provided throughout to ensure we were rested and fuelled for the challenge. Thank you so much Pati, Mesh, Poncho and Alejandro!
Before the trip, Karla and Alvaro answered all of our questions and booked all of our accomodations before landing in Mexico. Alvaro, the owner of the business, is super knowledgable and was willing to work around my groups busy schedule for multiple video calls to answer questions and troubleshoot prior to the trip. Once we landed in Mexico, we were greeted by the coolest group of dudes. For La Minche, Alejandro and Danny were great! They made us awesome food and got us to the top with the perritos just as planned. Two days later, Gilgamesh and Paco guided us to the top of Pico de Orizaba in record time. I will definitely be recomending this outfit to anyone who is interested in a somewhat exotic trip to the third highest peak in North America!
Took a fast ascent - afternoon arrival, evening ascent at pico orizaba. Mesh was my guide and he was spectacular. I had altitude sickness before even reaching base camp but still chose to continue the journey. Mesh was there to give me guidance on my health each step of the way and helped me go at my own pace. We reached the glacier and felt like we raced up at the end. The last 200 or so meters we were in complete white out snow and ice. We emerged at the summit and enjoyed the victory and a great lunch. The experience was as much spiritual as it was physical. I wish every one to experience the greatness of this mountain. My dad hiked this 40 years ago as a 20 something and I had the honor to follow in his foot steps. Mesh and 3 summits are trust worthy, reliable, kind and most importantly skilled. Highly recommend. I hope to see this crew of incredible mountaineers again. Truly a gift.
We climbed three peaks with 3Summits Adventure: La Malinche, Iztacćhuatl & Pico de Orizaba. We highly recommended this company. Our guides were Alejandro, Eduardo and Cristiano who were all amazing!
