Tours of Mexico

Mexico Volcano Climber

High above its tropical forests, Aztec ruins and Spanish colonial architecture, there is a side to Mexico that few people get to see - amongst the ice and snow of its volcanoes. As an acclimatisation exercise, we start out with an ascent of Volcan Ajusco (3930m) overlooking Mexico City. We then climb the Nevado Toluca (4691m), Mexico's 4th highest peak, which provides a magnificent climb along a crater ridge. Our next objective is Mexico's 3rd highest peak, the hard to pronounce Iztaccihuatl, a dormant volcano situated right beside the active Popocatepetl. We climb the 5th highest, Malinche (4462m), a relatively easy peak with a scrmbling ridge at the top, before tackling Mexico's highest volcano, Pico de Orizaba (5746m). After climbing the 30-degree snow slope of the Glaciar de Jamapa and tracing a route around the crater rim, our reward is a summit with splendid views across to the Gulf of Mexico. Between the climbs we have plenty of time for rest and exploration of Mexico's cultural treasures including the incredible Aztec pyramids at Xochicalco and attractive colonial cities such as Taxco and Puebla. Climbing four of the five highest peaks in Mexico including the third highest in North America, this is a brilliant adventure and the opportunity to see another side of Mexico.
