Description

This 12- day expedition offers you the chance to explore four amazing Mexican summits: Nevado de Toluca (4,680 m), Iztaccíhuatl (5,230m), La Malinche (4,461 m) and Pico de Orizaba (5,636 m), the highest mountain in Mexico!

These ancient volcanoes have embellished the exotic Mexican history and culture for thousands of years. Over the course of twelve days, we’ll explore these four major summits while discovering the various myths that explain their existence.

Our starting point will be either from Mexico City or Puebla City. From there, we’ll go to the Nevado de Toluca base camp and after finishing with our first ascent, we’ll continue with La Malinche. Then, we’ll ascend Iztaccihuatl. Once we have successfully completed ascending our three first volcanoes, we’ll end the trip by going up Pico de Orizaba, the crown jewel of the Mexican Volcanoes. For a more detailed description of the trip, take a look at the itinerary below!

I will safely guide you and make sure participants complete this program in the best possible conditions all the way from Nevado de Toluca, the 4th highest mountain, to Pico de Orizaba, the highest and most emblematic peak in Mexico. Moreover, keep in mind that this program’s length can be reduced according to each participant’s physical condition. Even though no prior mountaineering experience is required, all climbers need to be physically fit.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
