Discover Mexico: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

FAQs: Mexico

What should I know about Mexico?

Located in southern North America, Mexico is a large and diverse country, with many different landscapes, climates and cultures. While the majority of the mountaineering is done on the eastern end of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, this is a world away from the tropical beaches of the coasts, arid deserts of the north and ancient pyramids in the southern jungles. Every region has something different to offer. Mexico City is a sprawling metropolis and melting pot for all of the Central American region. Different cuisine, art, music and architecture from all the regions of this diverse country converge here to create a truly unique and lively city. The Mesoamerican pyramids in the state of Pueblo are especially worth a visit, if you have the time.

Òscar was a top notch guide. He really knew the route well, was in great shape but relaxed the pace when I needed to breathe. The hike itself is simply the most beautiful that I have ever seen.

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.
