Description

The third highest peak in Mexico, Iztaccihuatl (5,230m) is a gorgeous peak with a rich, amazing story behind it, a story that dates back centuries, back to the times of the Aztecs. And, on this 2-day trip, we would like to guide you to the summit of the beautiful volcano.

Our journey to the top of Iztaccihuatl will begin in Mexico City. After leaving the sprawling metropolis, we will make our way to the Paso de Cortes. From there, we will go to the Altzomoni Hut. From the hut, we will take a hike to the mountain’s first pass for the purpose of getting you properly acclimatized. Afterwards, we will return to the hut, where you can enjoy a tasty meal and get some sleep.

On the following day, we will wake up very early and start making our ascent at 2:00 am. We should arrive at the summit of the peak at midday. From the top of the Iztaccihuatl, you will get to enjoy amazing views of the landscape, as well as the peak’s twin, Popocatepetl (5,426m), which has an equally amazing story that also dates back to Aztec times. After you’ve taken in the wonder from the summit, we will make our way back down to the hut, where we will catch our transport back to Mexico City.

Participants on this trip should be in good physical condition. Prior climbing experience is also recommended.

A fantastic climb with equally amazing views, this 2-day trip to the top of the Iztaccihuatl volcano will take your breath away. To join us on this adventure, please send a request.

We also offer a 2-day climb to the top of the Pico de Orizaba, which you can enjoy here.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
