1-day guided expedition to La Malinche (4.461 m)
Join a certified mountain guide to enjoy an easy climb to reach the summit of La Malinche mountain (4.461 m). Enjoy stunning views and a bit of rock climbing too!
Highlights
Reach the summit of La Malinche.
Contemplate fantastic views of the surrounding volcanoes.
Go through a beautiful forest in a Mexican National Park.
Description
La Malinche is a Mexican National Park located in the states of Tlaxcala and Puebla.
Most of this protected area is covered by coniferous forests, where you can find a great variety of animals and plants. On this full-day guided expedition, we will attempt to summit the 4.461-meter La Malinche peak.
We will head up via the standard Las Cabañas del IMSS route. On the way, we will admire amazing views such as the Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl volcanoes. After 2 hiking hours, at 4,000 m, the trees and vegetation start to disappear because of the altitude. From the tree line, we’ll have to climb an alpine terrain full of rocks, sandy terrain, and difficult slopes. Some rock climbing will be involved.
Keep in mind that we will gauge the group’s overall fitness in order to plan the best itinerary for all. A good fitness level is a must to climb La Malinche, and some prior climbing experience is advised.
So, would you like to experience a unique mountain climbing day on one of Mexico’s most stunning volcanos? Then contact us now and join us on this La Malinche 1-day ascent! We look forward to guiding you!

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!

We wish we could have Simon as our guide on every trek we do. His mountaineering experience and extensive knowledge of the area was impressive and definitely enhanced the trek for us. On top of this, we got along great with Simon and appreciate his easy going personality and sense of humor. We will definitely request Simon as our guide for the next hike we do from El Chalten!
