Description

Conquer the 6th highest mountain in Mexico: La Malinche (4,420 m), on this 2-days mountaineering adventure with one of our expert guides.

The route we suggest is famous for its incomparable beauty and easy access. It begins at Las Cabañas del IMSS (3,330 m) where we’ll park. Thereupon our adventure starts, trekking across an enchanting high altitude forest. At about half way through our ascent, the forest will lead us to a low alpine vegetation area. Then, we’ll reach a rocky and sandy terrain, from where we’ll get one of the most privileged sceneries of the country. We’ll enjoy fantastic views of Pico de Orizaba, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl.

Finally, we will rock climb for a little to reach the summit of La Malinche. And once we get to stand at the top, the vistas we’ll get, will make all of our effort totally worth it. The pictures you’ll get from here will be the envy of everyone you know!

Even though this ascent is easier than the nearby Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccihuatl, it is still a challenging climb. Thus participants must have a good fitness level and a proper acclimatization process. But worry not, one of our expert guides will accompany you all throughout this journey to prevent any hazards, ensuring your fun and safety.

Furthermore, we’ll take care of all the arrangements for accommodation, included in the price, as well as all meals and water while in the mountain. We include the insurance for the summit days. And you won’t have to worry about bringing your technical gear, we provide that too.

So all you have to do is send us a request. Let us take care of the rest for you. And let us guide you to the summit of La Malinche.

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.

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.

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.
