Climbing Iztaccihuatl

 Ice Experience in Mexico

 

 

This volcano, commonly known as “Sleepy lady” is located in the most volcanic place of Mexico. It will enchant us by the beauty of his feminine profile and with his perennial glaciers that appear at the top of the sky. With an almost 5,280 Mt. height (17,154 Ft.) it offers a majestic panoramic of 365 degrees to the Mexican plateau, with a privileged glance of the Popocatepetl volcano. The long way to climb “the Chest”, immerse in the quiet depths of their glaciers, with the dawn running into the multicolor sands of their valleys, will promote a unique experience to us of intimate reflection that will totally extinguish the sense of fatigue in the return. An experienced guide-instructor will accompany you until the summit. The correct use of gear in a High Mountain exit will be the class subject.
