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 take a minibus 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. The total hike covers 11 kilometers through the wilderness, featuring volcanic rock, rivers, and waterfalls.

While hiking, we'll observe local fauna and enjoy views dominated by dense coniferous forests. Expect to see residents like coatis and volcano rabbits (also known as teporingo or zacatuche), which are 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 for our journey back to the meeting point, arriving around 6 pm.
