Description
Would you like to live an amazing 3-day mountaineering adventure in Mexico? Then contact us and reach the summit of Pico de Orizaba after an acclimatization ascent to La Malinche!
Pico de Orizaba (5,610m) is the highest mountain in Mexico and the third highest in North America. This huge stratovolcano is on the border between the Mexican states of Veracruz and Puebla.
Our 3-day adventure will start at the lower, but equally impressive, volcano, La Malinche (4,420m). This ascent crosses varied terrain and will allow us to acclimatize and prepare for the final challenge.
After climbing La Malinche, we will be ready to tackle Pico de Orizaba, which will take us two days. Halfway up, we will spend a night at the Piedra Grande Hut, surrounded by breathtaking landscape. Then, the third day, after climbing the Jamapa Glacier, we’ll reach the summit of the highest point in Mexico!
Please note that this trip requires previous experience and is for intermediate mountaineers. Furthermore, you should have a good fitness level. Of course, I we will be there to help and guide you on the way.
So, are you are ready for an awesome 3-day outing in Mexico? Then just contact us. Climb La Malinche and Pico de Orizaba under expert guidance!
