Description

Cerro El Brujo, or The Sorcerer, is a majestic volcanic dome near the town of Santa Maria Coatepec in the state of Puebla, Mexico.

El Brujo is a beautiful asymmetrical cinder cone with its craters and summit at 2,930 m.a.s.l., at its southern tip. Ascending from this side is quite easy, allowing an elevation gain of over 400 meters within 1 hour of hiking. But there are other areas we can climb it from, like its northern slopes, which provide a gentle ascent too. And it is the perfect training for the nearby peaks like Pico de Orizaba, Nevado de Colima or Iztaccihuatl.  

Due to its unique terrain known as malpais or badland, which consists in debris flows, lava and even recent ash, it is not suitable for agriculture. However, this has allowed it to maintain its original ecosystem of grassland, as well as pine and oak woods.

Reaching this marvellous place is easy. From Mexico City or the city of Puebla you can head to San Salvador el Seco and then Santa María Coatepec. Then, once we arrive to El Brujo the route we’ll follow is pretty straight forward. And when we reach its upper parts, we’ll find multiple ways to its summit.

Finally, at the top of El Brujo, we’ll encounter a chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe, along with a Mexican flag. The views we will get from here are simply breathtaking and will make all our effort worth it.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
