* Enjoy a 2-day climb to the summit of the Iztaccihuatl volcano in Mexico.
* Bask in the breathtaking views from the volcano's summit.
* Spend a night in the comfortable Altzomoni Hut.
Our journey to the top of Iztaccihuatl will begin in Mexico City. After leaving the sprawling metropolis, we will make our way to the Paso de Cortes. From there, we will go to the Altzomoni Hut. From the hut, we will take a hike to the mountain’s first pass for the purpose of getting you properly acclimatized. Afterwards, we will return to the hut, where you can enjoy a tasty meal and get some sleep.
On the following day, we will wake up very early and start making our ascent at 2:00 am. We should arrive at the summit of the peak at midday. From the top of the Iztaccihuatl, you will get to enjoy amazing views of the landscape, as well as the peak’s twin, Popocatepetl (5,426m), which has an equally amazing story that also dates back to Aztec times. After you’ve taken in the wonder from the summit, we will make our way back down to the hut, where we will catch our transport back to Mexico City.
Participants on this trip should be in good physical condition. Prior climbing experience is also recommended.
A fantastic climb with equally amazing views, this 2-day trip to the top of the Iztaccihuatl volcano will take your breath away. To join us on this adventure, please send a request.

It was awesome one of the best experiences so far. The guide was amazing. I had a great time, even though it was exhausting. The only negative thing was that the rental of the few things i needed was a bit expensive.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
