“Sergio was an amazing guide! We were lucky and the only ones that day, so we had a private tour with him. He always made sure that we're ok, asked if we needed breaks & told us many interesting facts about the area. Such a nice guy :) Little tip; if you don't have hiking boots and consider wearing your sneakers instead, it's doable, but we are very glad to have rented boots with them in the end. It's not expensive and the trail is very slippery and dusty. You will have dirt/rocks up to your ankles. The tour itself is beautiful and as long as you have a certain…”

4.From Mexico City: Hike Iztaccihuatl Volcano with an Alpinist

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 155 reviews · 11 hours · from $168

Leave Mexico City early for Paso de Cortés and La Joya, then hike Iztaccíhuatl with an English- or Spanish-speaking alpinist. Expect steep, rocky ground, thin air, and about 5 to 7 kilometers on foot. Guides such as Fabrizio, Gerson, Ivan, and Sergio have led past departures.

“Not a trip to the TOP of the Volcano, as the details suggest (and what I figured for the price and time allotted). But still an excellent way to hike and see the volcanoes. It would require more gear and more experience to hike to the summit. This hike is still challenging, and a good way to experience some altitude, with breath taking views! The guide was very good!”
