Description

Join one of our expert guides to the summit of Nevado de Toluca (4,680 meters) on this 2-days ascent.

Due to the easy access and proximity to Mexico City, and the incomparable beauty of its 2 lakes in the crater, this is one of the most popular ascents in Mexico.

Reaching the lakes is quite easy. However, getting to the summit is a little bit more challenging. Although it doesn’t require much technical gear, with the exception of the days when it’s covered in snow, particularly around its rocky and sharp ridges.

Nonetheless you won’t have to worry about the technical part, specially if you don’t have previous experience. All you need is to have a good fitness level, and allow your body to acclimatize properly to the altitude. One of our expert guides will follow you all throughout this journey, to help you out and make sure you are safe and enjoying your time here. Moreover, we provide all the technical equipment included in the price. So, you don’t have to worry about bringing your own.

The route we recommend, cañada del Oslo, begins at a forest area which would lead us to the main summit Pico del Fraile. Upon arrival, we’ll enjoy stunning views of the crater lakes Laguna del Sol and Laguna de la Luna.

Then for the descent, we can take the same route, or in the opposite direction towards the lake. And for those looking for bigger challenges, we can take a route that leads to the secondary summit, Pico del Aguila. 

If you wish to join this mountaineering adventure, request to book this trip today. One of our local guides will have to pleasure to accompany you to the summit of Nevado de Toluca.

We had an awesome time! All of the guides were nice and the food was great. We pushed through pain and suffering to the summit and our guide supported us the whole way, and took a bunch of great photos too.

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.

sophie

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!!

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!
