Explore a magical landscape and discover the indigenous legends that are told about it with this hiking route through the Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park.

Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park Hike

After picking you up from your hotel in Puebla, we'll head towards the Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park. On the way, we'll pass through the famous Paso de Cortés until we reach the parking lot of La Joyita, where we'll begin a fascinating hiking route.

We'll walk along the Ruta de los Portillos, 4 kilometers that combine icy landscapes with deserted areas. At certain points along the route, you'll take in views of the park's two volcanoes, Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl, while learning about the legend of the volcanoes and the servants of Tláloc.

Along the way, we'll make a stop to enjoy a quesadilla and a hot drink. Afterward, we'll continue our hike, where you'll likely see local wildlife such as coyotes, badgers, lizards, and deer amid the coniferous forests. Be sure to look for some of the dozens of species of fungi found in the park. It will be a unique experience!

After 4 hours of hiking, we'll return to the main parking lot and head back to your hotel in Puebla, arriving around 5 pm.
