This extinct stratovolcano is very close to the town of Tequila, on the mexican state of Jalisco. It is the 4th highest one in the state, standing at 2,940 meters. And it forms part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, which covers most of the country.
The enchanting town of tequila lies 62 kilometers west of Guadalajara, the second biggest city in the country. So reaching this fantastic place is not complicated. It makes for an amazing journey, passing by other equally charming towns like Acajete.
Then, to stand at the top of Tequila, doesn’t require any technical abilities or previous mountaineering experience. As it is a relatively easy hike, that can be completed in one day, from Tequila or Guadalajara, depending on our itinerary.
The name of this beautiful volcano comes from the native words tequillan or tecuila, which translates to place where they cut. This is a reference to the obsidian mined in the area, since the pre hispanic era.
Once we reach the summit, we’ll get incomparable views of the area, including the agave fields, the plant from which the tequila is made from. Furthermore, there are many paths we can follow, with different difficulty levels. But all of them offer equally dazzling sceneries.
Since this is a private trip, you’ll get to craft your itinerary based on your experiences and requests. So don’t miss out on the fun and send us a request today.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
