Paso de Cortés Hiking Excursion

Discover one of Mexico's most extraordinary natural spaces on this hiking excursion through the Paso de Cortés. An unmissable adventure from Mexico City!

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 proceed to hike the Paso de Cortés trail, a mountain pass between the Popocatépetl and Ixtaccíhuatl volcanoes. The total hike will cover 11 kilometers through the wilderness, featuring volcanic rock, rivers, and waterfalls.

During the hike, we may encounter local fauna. The landscape is characterized by dense coniferous forests where we can see coatis and volcano rabbits (known as teporingo or zacatuche), the world's second-smallest rabbit species.

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

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