Description
Conquer the 6th highest mountain in Mexico: La Malinche (4,420 m), on this 2-days mountaineering adventure with one of our expert guides.
The route we suggest is famous for its incomparable beauty and easy access. It begins at Las Cabañas del IMSS (3,330 m) where we’ll park. Thereupon our adventure starts, trekking across an enchanting high altitude forest. At about half way through our ascent, the forest will lead us to a low alpine vegetation area. Then, we’ll reach a rocky and sandy terrain, from where we’ll get one of the most privileged sceneries of the country. We’ll enjoy fantastic views of Pico de Orizaba, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl.
Finally, we will rock climb for a little to reach the summit of La Malinche. And once we get to stand at the top, the vistas we’ll get, will make all of our effort totally worth it. The pictures you’ll get from here will be the envy of everyone you know!
Even though this ascent is easier than the nearby Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccihuatl, it is still a challenging climb. Thus participants must have a good fitness level and a proper acclimatization process. But worry not, one of our expert guides will accompany you all throughout this journey to prevent any hazards, ensuring your fun and safety.
Furthermore, we’ll take care of all the arrangements for accommodation, included in the price, as well as all meals and water while in the mountain. We include the insurance for the summit days. And you won’t have to worry about bringing your technical gear, we provide that too.
So all you have to do is send us a request. Let us take care of the rest for you. And let us guide you to the summit of La Malinche.
We also offer a shorter version of this trip, if you want to check this option.

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.

I had a great experience at Pico de Orizaba. My guide Oscar was pretty amazing - super professional, always ready to answer questions and teach, always around to help. Frankly, I have no comments or anything because it was very well arranged and everything went smooth.

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!
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.
