Review of the Iztaccihuatl Volcano hike from Mexico City, with altitude advice, transport details, guide notes, costs, and practical tips.

“The beautiful views from the volcano were breathtaking. Our guide, Gerson, was great. When I was having trouble climbing up the volcano, he lent me his pole to help me up. He also kept up with the pace of the group, which was great because this was my first time climbing up that high and we had to slowly adapt to the altitude. It was a great experience, we will do it again!”

Hike Iztaccíhuatl from Mexico City with an alpinist guide, mountain views, high-altitude trails, and a challenging 11-hour day.

“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!”

Review of Ecotura’s Nevado de Toluca hike from Mexico City, with high-altitude advice, lagoon trails, transport, meals, price, and booking tips.

“¡Increíble lugar!, muy bien organizado ya que no tuvimos que esperar o hacer filas para comprar la entrada, sin mentir las filas para pagar la entrada o esperar los transportes eran de por lo menos unas ¡500 - 800 personas!, el almuerzo súper bien todo muy rico, lo único malo fue la cantidad de personas que habían en el día que fuimos, ya que habían muchos otros tour operadores, así que recomendamos ir mejor entre semana o en la medida de lo posible evitar los días de temporada alta quizás así se pueda disfrutar más el Nevado de Toluca”

Review of a private Nevado de Toluca hike from Mexico City, with crater lagoons, snow, high-altitude demands, transport, guides, and weather advice.

“I would not reccomend this tour. From the moment my husband and I entered the vehicle with our guide (who was very kind), I was skeptical of the weather. However, I was emphatically reassured that the weather would hold up, that the rain would stop and that the fog would clear somewhat so we would be able to see the summit and the lagoon. When we arrived to the mountain, it was clearly still raining and the wind was blowing so hard it was rattling our vehicle. The fog was so dense you couldn't see anything below. We ended up leaving shortly afterwards and returning to our accomodation without completing…”

He made me very comfortable, at ease and safe. We had a great time and he went at my pace, making me enjoy the whole thing. This hike is hard, it took us 9 hours which is quick but it can take larger groups up to 15 hours and that is constantly hiking on very hard terrain. I would say you need to have a good…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $95Best value

Escape Mexico City for a six-hour hike with waterfalls, a volcanic cave, dramatic views, and a thrilling 30-meter ladder climb.

“This is a short, straight up hike to a series of overlooks to the valley you just left. I am a pretty experienced hiker, and due to the slippery trail (scree, and dirt), altitudes I rarely visit, and not to mention the ladder, I found the hike challenging. The views are worth it, and Omar was a great guide. He stopped often, and made sure we were prepared. The way back down includes a hike along the river which was a lovely surprise.”
