Description
Join one of our expert guides to the summit of Nevado de Toluca (4,680 meters) on this 2-days ascent.
Due to the easy access and proximity to Mexico City, and the incomparable beauty of its 2 lakes in the crater, this is one of the most popular ascents in Mexico.
Reaching the lakes is quite easy. However, getting to the summit is a little bit more challenging. Although it doesn’t require much technical gear, with the exception of the days when it’s covered in snow, particularly around its rocky and sharp ridges.
Nonetheless you won’t have to worry about the technical part, specially if you don’t have previous experience. All you need is to have a good fitness level, and allow your body to acclimatize properly to the altitude. One of our expert guides will follow you all throughout this journey, to help you out and make sure you are safe and enjoying your time here. Moreover, we provide all the technical equipment included in the price. So, you don’t have to worry about bringing your own.
The route we recommend, cañada del Oslo, begins at a forest area which would lead us to the main summit Pico del Fraile. Upon arrival, we’ll enjoy stunning views of the crater lakes Laguna del Sol and Laguna de la Luna.
Then for the descent, we can take the same route, or in the opposite direction towards the lake. And for those looking for bigger challenges, we can take a route that leads to the secondary summit, Pico del Aguila.
If you wish to join this mountaineering adventure, request to book this trip today. One of our local guides will have to pleasure to accompany you to the summit of Nevado de Toluca.

More info Please note the type of clothes and gear we’ll require will depend on the season in which you want to climb. For instance, if you wish to climb when the peak is covered in snow, you should bring the adequate clothes and we’ll provide the necessary gear. |

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.

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.
