Itinerary

  • Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl National Park

    In the morning, leave Mexico City and enjoy a picturesque 2h drive through the Valley of Mexico before reaching Paso de Cortes. This mountain pass between the Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes lies at an altitude of 3400 m. Finally, reach La Joya, a high mountain hut at an elevation of 3977 m above sea level that is connected by one of the highest mountain roads in the country. This is a starting point for our intermediate-level hike up the slopes of the Iztaccihuatl volcano that both novices and those with more hiking experience will enjoy.
