Epic hike :) - I was so happy to be able to summit Nevado de Toluca during my vacation in Mexico City. My tour guide was Jose Luis at Yucana Outdoors. He was very nice and accommodating. I felt some altitude sickness from the start, but with such a patient guide and beautiful scenery, I was still able to power through the entire hike. This was a very nice and convenient experience as they provide you with transportation, food, and any equipment that you may need to make the hike more comfortable (microspikes, gloves, helmet, etc.) Also, you will get tips on where to go and explore to make your overall vacation more enjoyable. I totally recommend squeezing this hiking tour into your trip!

My first hike with Yacanas - The guys are merely awesome. My guides were Gabriel and Alinne. First of all, they chose a right pace for every member of the group. Since we had people with different aerobic abilities, they split us in two groups. Also, the guides showed us awesome local restaurants after the hike. It was a really cool authentic Mexican hiking experience. I am definitely coming back to do more trips with them.

Nevado de Toluca - We did the Nevado de Toluca climb with Alinne, and it was an excellent trip!! The communication from the very start with the Yacana office by WhatsApp to arranging day of logistics with Alinne was very smooth. They provided us with all of the hard gear we needed and way more than enough food and water. Alinne was great with keeping the pace and making sure we were safe in the exposed and class 2-3 portions of the hike. Alinne picked us up at our Airbnb in CDMX and drove out to Toluca, with the option to stop for coffee. We took a truck ride up from the parking lot to Campamento de Toluca, where we started our hike. We did a simple out and back to Pico del Fraile, the highest point along the rim of the crater. We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant on the way home. Overall, this was an excellent experience and we felt well taken care of the whole time. The Yacana leadership were very responsive and helpful the entire time.

Unforgettable Experience - Alline and Gabriel were our guides for this hike. I couldn’t have asked for better guides! They were outstanding! I struggled with the high altitude. Gabriel and Alline were there supporting and cheering me on to continue the hike to the crater. Thank you two for an amazing experience. The view made it all worth it. Thank you for your patience while I struggled to breathe and believing in me! Highly recommend using their services for any hikes near Mexico City.

The perfect hike experience!!!! - Stunning views and incredible expert guides. I absolutely recommend it! El Nevado de Toluca is one of the most beautiful places I have been in Mexico. When we arrived, it was clear and sunny and the views were breathtaking (the colors of the crater and the lakes are impressive). When we came down, everything was covered in dense fog and the landscape was magical. We would definitely have gotten lost without our guides José Luis and Alin José Luis and Alin provide us with all the details and specialized equipment we need to make our hike enjoyable. Even before we met, communication was clear and fast, so it was easy to make plans regarding personal gear and transportation. The hike is intense due to the altitude but the view of the lakes and the volcano from above is worth it. José Luis and Alin had great advice and were patient, super caring, and kept their attention on everyone's safety. They adapted to everyone in my group, although we had different levels of fitness and acclimatization. Another thing that was very worthwhile was that José Luis knows not only the park but the volcano lake very well. He gave us a lot of information about the history, vegetation, and wildlife of the national park. Thank you Yacana team! I will definitely come back in a different season and take more trips to other volcanoes with you!

Perfect day in Nevado de Toluca - With Ricardo I made one of my bucket list items come true I’m very thankful for the experience. Ricardo is a really knowledgeable guide help though the difficult areas never felt rushed and he answer all of my questions as well. The whole trip took us from around 5:45 am from Mexico City we arrived at the bottom the the mountain at 9am and we where back in Mexico city at around 5pm. Definitely going to take more trips with them I'm excited for what is next!
