Mountain Climbing in Ciudad de México

Alvaro and Karla provided great service. Our guides Abraham and Alejandro went above and beyond to get us to the summit safely. Great trip -- highly recommended!

I am 63,  I tried to climb Pico de Orizaba 6 months ago without success.  I was in a group of 8 people and the guides seemed to be in a hurry to finish their job, I could not keep up with their pace. I decided to try it again, searching the web for Pico de Orizaba climbing I found Explore-Share where you can find guides from all over the world, 3Summits Adventure was the option that could not have been better,  I can say there is a world of difference between 3Summits Adventure and the other mountain guides. My guide Lalo was all attention to detail,  he let me climb at my pace always making sure I was in condition to continue and checking for any symptoms that could affect the climb, without his patience and experience in the mountain I could not have reached the summit. In 5 days I climbed La Malinche and Pico de Orizaba, something that at my age I could not have done it without the guides and services 3Summits provided, Karla and Lalo made it possible for me. You can take a risk and try other guides, there are plenty of them, but if you really want to make it to the summit 3Summits the best option.

Climbing La Malinche with 3Summits Adventure in preparation for Pico de Orizaba was an amazing experience. I accessed the Explore-Share site looking for guides to La Malinche and they put me in contact with Alvaro and Karla from 3Summits Adventure, from the moment they picked me up at the hotel I sensed the personalized service. My guide Alejandro not only with great personality but also with extensive experience in the mountains, was constantly checking on how I was feeling, always putting safety first but also doing the best he can do to help me reach my goal of getting to the summit. For people without climbing experience like me it is necessary to have a guide that can understand your physical abilities so he can work with you and find the best climbing pace. Having used the services before of other climbing guide companies, the difference 3Summits Adventure provides is the one that will take you to the summit with excellent service and highly-qualified mountain guides

The whole process was AWESOME! They made everything so easy and enjoyable, even accommodated me with a food allergy. Could not recommend enough!

It is safe to say this experience with Angel & Dani was truly one that we will remember for life. The whole experience was well organised, the lodge we stayed in was amazing. The climb gear itself was well provided. There is not a single thing we would complain about. The guides Dani and Angel were just amazing.

Tremendo tiempo que la pasamos. Los tres guías Danny y Alejandro fueron puntuales, pacientes y se aseguraron que mis meta fue alcanzada. El viaje sobrepasó mis expectativas y lo recomiendo!!!

My first mountaineering trek was awesome, from coordination to the guides themselves were all excellent and practiced safety first. I'm will definitely book another trek with 3 Summits!

I found the guides to be wonderful and helpful people!

The guides were awesome, helpful people. Definitely would take this hike again!

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.

I love Carlos and the team! We ended up changing our itinerary to 3 mountains in 8 days and had a great experience. I will recommend Carlos and his wonderful hospitality and working with logistics anytime!

Great trip for both Izta and Pico with 3Summit Adventure! We had an incredible experience and every detail was thought through. Great communication and we really enjoyed climbing with our guide, not only was he an expert on the mountain, he was also extremely supportive and a pleasure to be around. Thank you for the great trip.

I was someone with little experience. Alvaro and Maca at Explore-Share did such an amazing job helping me to prepare properly. I was able to use their equipment in cases where I was missing anything. The trip went perfectly . . . I had my own guide, so I could climb the mountain at my own (slower) pace, which I highly recommend!

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

Such a great day! Perfect organisation, great guide, great company, great hike! ❤️ We are fully in charge with confortable sleeping, food and everything. That was a life experience!

Hi, It’s Michelle Houjeily, apologies I’m submitting this so late! Thank you for all of the support and help throughout this hike, it was truly amazing!! I should have taken more seriously your recommendation to do an acclimatization hike prior as the altitude really got to me at a certain point and didn’t allow me to summit. Regardless, this was such a beautiful experience. I appreciated the guidance prior to the hike, being able to rent out items, the home cooked meal in the little town, and even the disappointment in not completing the hike. This hike inspired me to keep going and keep trying! So thank you!!

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!!!

Everything was perfect organised. And all worked very well. Got picked up at my hotel, the transportation to the Iztaccihuatl basecamp was perfect. The food was super delicious "real powerfood", my tent for sleeping was nice. Really everything. And then the hike itself. Mesh was a great guide. It was one of the best things I did in my life. What a view on the top at 07:00 a.m. What an athmosphere. Just amazing. Returned back at the basecamp totally tired, but totally happy. Thank's a lot!!

Me sentí en casa!! Desde que nos recibieron los guías todo fue una experiencia gratificante, llena de conversaciones de montañas y muy buenas vibras. Los guías Oscar y Mech hicieron un excelente trabajo desde el momento en que nos recibieron, desde explicarnos la manera de usar el equipo para nuestra expedición, aportarnos la información requerida por nuestro grupo, entre otras. Muy satisfecha con todo sus servicios. Muchísimas gracias!! 100% recomendado

Una experiencia inolvidable. Desde que nos buscaron al aeropuerto el primer día hasta el último día de nuestra expedición todo fue súper profesional. La guiada a cumbre del Iztaccíhuatl fue bastante retadora, la cual el guía Christian se encargó de proveer toda la confianza y ánimo posible para hacer de esta hazaña única y exitosa. Muchísimas gracias por todo! Espero poder regresar un día con ustedes 🙌

The tour was done in a very professional way from the time of order until the end. The hostel we stayed in the village close to the moutain was great, and the food even better. The guide (Mesh) was also great pushing you enough to make it to the top of the moutain in a safe way. I only got good experiences with 3Summit Adventure and can really recommend them for others.

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

The trip was great. We were well looked after both during the climb and in the base camp. Mesh our guide was helpful and attentive. I highly recommend 3 summits. I would recommend making sure you are acclimatized before hand.

Juan as a guide was very helpful. He kept good pace and supported us in succesful climb to the summit. I would recommend Juan as a guide to everyone.

Very happy with online and guidance support. Although Gustavo is relatively young guide his hiking and motivating skills are spot on! Overall highly recommended

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

Everything was organised perfectly from pickup to drop off in the last day. You do not need to think about anything except your tracking and just enjoy your trip.

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.

The guides are very cordial and receptive, really experienced. The prior aclimatization was not enough, I recommend at least 3 days of aclimatization for those not experienced in high mountains. Thanks a lot for the team of 3summits!

A memory for life. I was not really planning to do any hiking for my stay in Mexico, but suddenly got the opportunity for a 3-day expedition. I got help from 3summits on very short notice. I didn't bring any gear, but I could rent almost all the gear that was needed. My guide was amazing; experienced, friendly and great company. Makes me want to come back to do Pico de Orizaba.

Bernardo was so nice and made sure that we were all safe and sound at all time. The taco place we went afterwards were so good. I had a wonderful trip that day and will definitely recommend it to everyone! Thank you!

outstanding guide Mesh (and cook "heraldo?"), understanding, knowlegdeable, supportive, empathetic, safe, and great fun!

My guide Abraham did an excellent job! I was very impressed with the logistical organization and attention to my transportation needs. I would use 3Summits Adventure service again and highly recommend it to others.

It was a very different experience for me. Beautiful country, nice people and beautiful mountains. Thank you. Sureyya FIDAN from ISTANBUL

3 Summits eventually took me on a 5-day climb. They were absolutely great! Everything was organized and they were constantly professional.

Trip complete! We made the Summit!!!! The hospitality was fantastic, Oscar did an excellent job at making us feel welcome in the village. (On time and ready to go). Oscar and Abraham both did very well at exceeding all of my expectations. I personally had some trouble with my heart rate and Abraham was there every step of the way to ensure a safe decision. (When I wanted to QUIT) We slowed down, I caught my breath. And we kicked one step at a time! Excuse my language: Fucking Fantastic. Alvaro, your guides are fantastic! 18,400! Thanks for everything.

It was really really hard to get up to the top, but thanks to the Guides and the rented equipment me and my friend made it almost to the sunrise to the top. Oskar and Abraham,the guides, really did a great job. If you want to go, you should know the difference between walking, hiking and climbing and know that the altitude will not help your stamina. I have been to a lot of mountains but the view of Pico de Orizaba Was by far the best. I highly recommend it. Tom

I had a great and unforgettable experience climbing Pico de Orizaba with the 3Summits Adventure Team in a 2 day trip!  Álvaro and Oscar are highly experienced, professional and encouraging guides, they took special care in the preparations and were patient and motivating during this my very first summit!  Excellent communication before and after the trip! Thumbs-up to 3Summits!

Thoroughly recommended. Daniel is an excellent guide and we had a great day out.

Excellent trip, my kids and I had to work for it which made the summit and the end of the hike all the more enjoyable.

Daniel and his partner Alex did a great job guiding us, and helping with all the logistics, especially transportation to and from the climb. Alex was a real pleasure to talk with, learn from, and show us the mountain. Thank you, for a great experience!

Daniel was kind enough to pick me up promptly at the airport when I arrived. we drove straight to amecameca and bought a few supplies, we then drove to Popo park and set up camp. Daniel gave a class on crampons, walking sticks and the ice pick and then it was time to sleep and prepare for the early morning hike start. we set off around 0330 and reached the recluso at about 15,500 feet. it was an amazing experience with wonderful views. Thank you Daniel, Alejandro and Yasmin!
