The Malinche 14,600 ft.

Well-known as Maltzín, this beautiful volcano offers unique landscapes as gullies and volcanic ravines that surround the summit. With a height of around 4400 meters, it offers a longer ascent than the Nevado de Toluca. That’s the reason why is an optimal test not only for those people would like to take his first steps in High Mountain but also for those alpinist who want to take an acclimatizing plan to get prepared for higher mountains.
The route towards the summit will be constantly supervised by a guide-instructor, who will supervise you on the correct planning of a Mountain Going out.

Iztaccíhuatl 17,154 ft.

This volcano, commonly known as “Sleepy woman” 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 5300 meters height 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.

Pico de Orizaba 18,500 ft.

Located south of Puebla, with a height of more than 5700 meters, this colossus is the third higher mountain in North America and constitute the best place of this continent to train for Andean mountains and “the ceiling of the world”: the Himalayas.
Trough an inclined sandy way that not only constitutes a test of good training but an example of the importance of the “march style” of a mountain climber, we will learn the old “alpine step” and will obtain the white superior border of the impressive crater that will give the widest unimaginable glance to us of the pending Mexican plateau towards the veracruzana forest.
The long-haul by the extended glacier of Jamapa will take care for the glacier passage class.
