Explore-Share and 3Summits were outstanding in all aspects starting from the time I registered for the La Malinche + Pico de Orizaba climbs. Their communication, follow up and guidance was great all the time. Alex was my guide during La Malinche climb and Lolo was guide during Pico de Orizaba climb. Though it was a slow struggle for me, they encouraged me to perform and as a result I was able to finish both the hikes at a reasonable time. I enjoyed every moment with the guides who were very knowledgeable and vastly experienced. The accomodation, transportation, food arrangements and logistics were top notch. After my return back from the hike, they sent me all the pictures instantly. I am so glad I chose Explore-share and 3 Summits and look forward to doing more climbs with them.

The guides and overall team for the Pico and La Malinche ascents were great! Both hikes were amazing. Highly recommend!

This was truly an amazing experience that was made much more possible through explore share. Oscar was a great guide that gave good feedback and instructions as this was my first 5000m+ ascent and my first glaciated mountain as well. Whilst I turned back at about 200m from the summit (I didn’t have much time to acclimate prior as I was working with my parents time window, I really struggled at the 5k meter mark with fatigue and respiratory difficulty) I learned and experienced firsthand just how magical Pico de Orizaba is. Explore share was a great platform and was easy to use. I received messages from representatives to help me book my ascent in a way that made me feel like they cared. The explore share community truly feels to me as if everyone is wishing to see you succeed and are passionate about the guides and services they connect you with. It feels like platform designed by enthusiasts and athletes to help chat with you about what you want to achieve as opposed to an only for profit booking algorithm. I am really glad I had the chance to do this. I messaged the Instagram page with photos from my ascent and will later tag you in the post I have in the works. Thank you so much for this opportunity and in the future I want to book with you and Oscar again for more mountaineering and climbing goals. Finally I am only 15 years old and explore share also consulted with my parents making them feel more confident in my safety and that helped me convince them to let my attempt this mountain at a young age.

Guides are the best, super helpful, always motivating me to push forward. Both mountains are challenging but the view at the top is well worth it.

An absolutely amazing experience. My first mountaineering experience and was given all the guidance I needed. Christian on La Malinche and Mesh on Pico were great guides. Would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to reach the highest point in Mexico!!

Good people, good food, knowledgeable guides.

The best experience possible. Excellent service. Great organization and the best accommodations possible. Fully recommended.

Trilogy was absolutely fantastic! First of all the experience booking it was great. Alvaro was very helpful in answering all my questions. He planned the time carefully so that I would have enough time to recover between summits and the schedule meant that I managed to acclimatise to the altitude well and get to the top of pico feeling fine which is significantly higher than I have ever gone before in my life. Having seen people suffer altitude sickness at much lower heights this was a concern of mine. Finally the guides were absolutely amazing. Lovely people who are so passionate about the mountains. I went by myself and they are great company. Highly recommend doing trilogy!!!

Unfortunately the guide could not speak English properly and did not provide me with any tips or guidance despite it being my first climb. We did Malinche as a prior acclimatisation, but we set off too late and the weather was poor on the mountain making it difficult to climb; this is where I believe an experienced guide that is more fluent in English could have helped with technique. I have video evidence if anyone wants to see the neglect. As such the Pico de Orizaba climb never happened and I was not given a refund, very disappointed.

3Summits coordinated a great trip. The guides, Abraham (Pico) and Angel (Malinche) were very experienced and qualified. I felt safe with them the whole time. The coordination and communication from start to finish were flawless. I would highly recommend 3Summits to take you up to the summit of Pico. I would also recommend La Malinche first if you're not acclimatized from climbing Izta or another mountain.

Kindest, most helpful and friendly guides and staff. Really went out of their way to make me comfortable.

Fantastic Guides. Excellent English Language. Incredible scenery. Brilliant Trip

Trip was absolutely wonderful! Very professionally organized logistics and amazing guides. 5 stars all over!

Great trip - Alvaro and the boys took care of everything for my wife and I during the Trilogy/Triple Peak Trip! Food, transports, tents, gear - all went well. Gustavo, Meesh, Abrahim, Dani, and Oscar were awesome guides and got us there and back. They even helped with a flexible itinerary to help changes in our party's schedule.
