Cave of Swallows, Rappelling adventure in San Luis Potosi, Mexico

Our guide during the ascent of Pico de Orizaba was amazing. Supportive, encouraging, empathetic. Angel during the ascent of Malinche was alright, although he seemed more focus on his individual performance than on us. Plus, it would have felt more comfortable having the same guide for both ascents.

Our guide was Mesh, he was so knowledgeable, friendly and spoke great English (which always helps haha) We could not have wished for a better guide!!

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.
