Pico de Orizaba 2 Day Hiking Tour

Day 1: Puebla - Pico de Orizaba

After picking you up at your hotel in Puebla at 8:30 am, we'll head east towards Pico de Orizaba, also known as Citlaltépetl. Upon arrival in Tlachichuca, we will change to a 4x4 vehicle that will take us to the north refuge of Pico de Orizaba. We will set up our tent and have lunch. A short hike will follow to acclimatise to the terrain, leaving the afternoon free for you to relax.

We will have dinner and go to bed early to rest for the next day's hike.

Day 2: Pico de Orizaba - Puebla

At 12:30 am, we will have breakfast at the refuge and start our trek under the stars. The hike to the summit, 5747 metres (18854.99 feet), will take approximately 8 hours. We will learn about the volcano and view its landscapes and high mountain flora and fauna.

We will enjoy a sunrise before starting the descent, which will take around 4 hours back to the base camp. Afterward, we will eat at the refuge and regain strength before taking the 4x4 back.

The activity will conclude between 5 pm and 6 pm at your hotel in Puebla.
