Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl Volcanoes Tour Details
After pickup, we will head south towards the Iztaccíhuatl-Popocatépetl National Park, making a stop for snacks along the way. We will reach The Jewel at Paso de Cortés, where conquistador Hernán Cortés first viewed the Mexican Valley en route to Tenochtitlán (now Mexico City). Here, we start the climb up the mountain via an intermediate difficulty route suitable for both beginners and experienced climbers.
As you ascend, enjoy views of the Mexico Valley and nearby towns. Depending on your fitness level, you can opt to climb to either the first mirador at 3,800 meters above sea level or the second at 4,300 meters. A highlight of this trip is the opportunity to view Popocatépetl, Mexico's second tallest volcano, amidst the volcanic activity.
