Malinche, Iztaccihuatl & Pico de Orizaba, Climb the 3 highest peaks in Mexico, 8 days

Come, join us as we take you to the three highest peaks in Mexico for 8 days. We will climb Malinche (4420m), Iztaccihuatl (5230m) and Pico de Orizaba (5747m), the highest peak in the country on this incredible trip.

You will not only capture the summits of these mountain giants but also visit the historic cities of  Cholula, Huamantla and see the spectacular pyramids of Teotihuacan. Also, get ready to explore the areas around Mexico City bordering Veracruz.

The first two days involve a trek to Malinche. It is relatively an easy hike which offers stunning vistas. As we take on the peaks of Iztaccihuatl and Pico de Orizaba the following days, it will get more challenging and thrilling.

The third highest peak in Mexico, Iztaccihuatl sets us on a trail of snow and glacier. We will start early at around 2 am towards this non-technical peak. Equipped with an ice ax and crampons, we will scale up for about 14 to 17 hours to get to the top. If required we can also halt at a high camp before the final hike. The trail offers exceptional views of craggy ridges and the Popocatepetl volcano.

We have reserved a day for acclimatization so you don’t have to worry. Regarding difficulty, keep in mind that you should be fit and used to long hikes to be on this tour.

The last peak of our journey, Pico de Orizaba is a classic volcano cone. At 5,636m, it is the highest summit in Mexico and the third highest in North America. Again a non-technical summit, mounting it would require the said equipment along with ropes. We will start early at about 2 am and after a good hike of 12-15 hours, reach the top. You will see panoramic views alongside witnessing a striking sunrise once there.

It will be a trip worth your time and effort. So, get in touch now and reserve your seat to capture the three highest peaks in Mexico. We also guide a trip to the 4 tallest mountains in Mexico.
