Paso de Cortés Hiking Excursion

We will meet at 7 am at Michoacán Market in Mexico City. From there, we'll hop on a minibus which will take us to Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park.

Upon arrival, we'll hike the Paso de Cortés trail, a mountain pass between the Popocatépetl and Ixtaccíhuatl volcanoes. We will cover a total of 11 kilometers through the wilderness, featuring volcanic rock, rivers, and waterfalls.

During the hike, we may spot local fauna such as coatis and volcano rabbits(teporingo or zacatuche), known as the world's second-smallest rabbit species, amid the dense coniferous forests.

Before returning to Mexico City, the group will have a light lunch consisting of a sandwich, fruit, an energy bar, and water.

We will then return to the minibus to head back, arriving around 6 pm.
