Description

This 12- day expedition offers you the chance to explore four amazing Mexican summits: Nevado de Toluca (4,680 m), Iztaccíhuatl (5,230m), La Malinche (4,461 m) and Pico de Orizaba (5,636 m), the highest mountain in Mexico!

These ancient volcanoes have embellished the exotic Mexican history and culture for thousands of years. Over the course of twelve days, we’ll explore these four major summits while discovering the various myths that explain their existence.

Our starting point will be either from Mexico City or Puebla City. From there, we’ll go to the Nevado de Toluca base camp and after finishing with our first ascent, we’ll continue with La Malinche. Then, we’ll ascend Iztaccihuatl. Once we have successfully completed ascending our three first volcanoes, we’ll end the trip by going up Pico de Orizaba, the crown jewel of the Mexican Volcanoes. For a more detailed description of the trip, take a look at the itinerary below!

I will safely guide you and make sure participants complete this program in the best possible conditions all the way from Nevado de Toluca, the 4th highest mountain, to Pico de Orizaba, the highest and most emblematic peak in Mexico. Moreover, keep in mind that this program’s length can be reduced according to each participant’s physical condition. Even though no prior mountaineering experience is required, all climbers need to be physically fit.

What people are saying about this trip

Stetson

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!
