Day hike to the top of the Nevado de Colima in Mexico (Nevado de Colima National Park)

I am a 65-year-old woman traveling alone this year and I would not have been able to do this hike without a guide ... if nothing else, only his 4WD truck was going to get me to the start (a long dirt road that has its issues). I live at sea level, so just hiking to the ridge (12,000) was enough for me. I very much enjoyed Juan's passion for the park and conserving it. On our way back down the hike, I was happy to join in picking up trash.

We have been on 2-days trekking tour - hiking Volcano Nevado de Colima in Mexico (Nov 21-22'2021). This is our opinion (me and my wife). 1. Both guides - Juan Manuel and Juan Pedro were fantastic - very professional, sympathetic. They spoke English so we have had not problems with communications. 2. Car Ford 4WD - super - big and comfortable. 3. Trekking/hiking - beautiful place, technically acceptable probably by most of guests, fantastic panoramic views 4. Organization of the trip - very good (it was even too much food and drinks) 5. Night in a refuge at 3200 m altitude - this place unfortunately is not prepared for overnight tourists - there is no hot water or heaters - nights are very cold (in our case it was ca. 3 centigrades Celsius), fortunately in our house was big chimney which we could use. Generally - very good tour. In my opinion there should be information about conditions in the refuge. Best greetings ----- Marek Litmanowicz / Gala Akhmatkulova - Poland/Uzbekistan
