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.

When we arrive, we'll head straight for the Paso de Cortés trail, a mountain pass between the Popocatépetl and Ixtaccíhuatl volcanoes. Together, we'll hike a total of 11 kilometers through the wilderness, admiring areas with volcanic rock, rivers, and waterfalls.

Along the way, we may spot local fauna including coatis and volcano rabbits (also known as teporingo or zacatuche). Volcano rabbits are the world's second-smallest rabbit species.

Before we head back to Mexico City, the group will enjoy a light lunch, including a sandwich, fruit, an energy bar, and water.

After lunch, we'll return to the minibus and make our way back to the meeting point, arriving around 6 pm.
