Additional Information

The Pico de Orizaba volcano is the highest in Mexico. It houses one of the last glaciers in Mexico and hides beautiful natural treasures. We have designed this hiking route so you can enjoy the incredible views of the Pico de Orizaba volcano. Our local guide will explain the flora and fauna of the place. We will visit 2 beautiful waterfalls created by the melting of one of the few glaciers that exist in Mexico, the Jamapa glacier, on the north face of the Pico de Orizaba volcano.

After the waterfalls, we will continue climbing, and you will see how nature changes. In the mountains and volcanoes, trees, flowers, animals and all of nature in general adapt to the altitude. As you go up you will see this change, until you reach the point where the trees stop growing and the sandbanks begin. In this area, you will have unique views of the top of Pico de Orizaba and its glacier, the incredible views will leave you breathless. Book with us!
This tour is NOT to the top of the volcano.

Amazing! America's highest mountain from Colombia to Canada / Impresionante! La montaña más alta de Colombia a Canadá - Really easy to plan things with Que Loco Tours, who coordinated with excellent guides for our trip. We were able to personalize our experience and they were pretty flexible about it. We were lucky to go there during the week so there wasn't a lot of people in the mountain, making it a nicer experience. Pedro and Bryan guided and assisted us in an assertive and knowledgeable manner throughout the whole trip. I can't imagine better guides for this adventure. They were always on top of our condition, safety and making sure we were having a good time. We had a successful climb and a safe descent all the way back to the city. I recommend them without reserves. / Bastante fácil planificar todo con Qué Loco Tours, quienes coordinaron con excelentes guías nuestro viaje. Nosotros personalizamos la experiencia y hubo bastante flexibilidad para ello. Tuvimos suerte de ir en días de semana en que había poca gente en la montaña, lo que hizo más agradable la experiencia. Pedro y Bryan nos guiaron y asistieron de manera acertada y conocedora durante todo el viaje. No imagino mejores guías para esta aventura. Siempre entuvieron pendientes de nuestra condición, seguridad y de que la estuviéramos pasando bien. Tuvimos un ascenso exitoso y un retorno a salvo a la ciudad. Los recomiendo sin duda alguna.
