★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 242 reviews · 9 hours · from $105Our pick

Leave Mexico City with a guide such as Alan, Carlos, Bernardo, or Cesar for a 9-hour trek in Iztaccihuatl-Popocatepetl National Park.

“It was wonderful. Our guide tour was so patient with me. I am disabled. I cannot walk that fast and he stayed with me and my family behind until we all got energy to walk back to the van. They truly are the best.”

2.Trekking Through The Volcanoes

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 96 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $133Top rated

Leave Mexico City early for a guided 9 or 13 km trek through Iztaccíhuatl-Popocatépetl National Park. Walk forests, high mountain paths, and volcanic terrain with poles, a backpack, snacks, and lunch provided. Guides such as Carlos and Bernardo adjust the pace and share details about the volcanoes.

“Salva and Bernardo were great guides and always checked in with everyone. Plenty of food and liquids provided. The hike was generally fine (in terms of difficulty), but due to the high altitude and heat, it's a bit harder uphill. A bit dusty, so be prepared to get dirty. Lovely hike and some nice views!”
