Overview

Escape the traffic and noise of the city and discover the peaceful landscapes of Iztaccihuatl-Popocatépetl National Park.

During this experience you can disconnect from the busy pace of the city, breathe fresh mountain air, and hike in a place where nature and silence surround you. It is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with nature and enjoy unique volcanic landscapes.

The hike takes place on Iztaccihuatl, where you will also enjoy spectacular views of Popocatépetl, one of Mexico’s most iconic active volcanoes.

What To Expect

Explore the Iztaccíhuatl-Popocatépetl National Park on a guided hike with pickup and round-trip transportation from Mexico City.
Level 1 - Beginner: 8–9 km, from 3,600 to 3,980 m a.s.l. It is the shortest route, with a moderate climb and wide views of Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl. Walking time: 3.5–4 h.
Level 2 – Intermediate: 13–14 km, from 3,600 to 3,960 m a.s.l. The initial climb of Level 1 is shared and then continues mainly downhill between forest, meadows, springs, and a small waterfall. It is the route with the greatest variety of landscapes. Time: approx. 5 h.
Level 3 – High mountain: 7 km, from 3,970 to 4,500 m a.s.l. It is the most demanding due to the altitude, slopes, and loose volcanic sand and rock terrain. The experience focuses more on the high mountain environment of Iztaccíhuatl. Time: approx. 5 h. We recommend shoes or boots with a good sole and traction.
If you are looking for wide views of both volcanoes, levels 1 and 2 are better options. Level 3 offers a higher altitude experience, with volcanic rock, craters, and high mountain landscape.
Times are approximate and vary according to pace, physical condition, and altitude response.
