It was a very extreme adventure that I would repeat; we reached the summit and walked around the crater.

The adventure was exciting from the start; the view along the way was beautiful, the guide was very attentive at all times, and I loved the breakfast they offered. I do recommend wearing suitable shoes; just wearing sports sneakers is not enough.

100% recommended, good vibes, connection, nature, peace ♥️

The guide could use a speaker to share anecdotes and even give instructions because, despite being a small group, there were times when he was not heard.

Different, adventurous, real, local!

It was a great experience! Different, adventurous, local, real! José transmits not only his knowledge of the area where he grew up, but his passion and commitment to take care of it and improve it! It starts with planting a tree to improve the urban area, then moving in local taxis to the mountain/volcano. During the climb you can appreciate the lights of the city and at the top, a nice sunrise accompanied by a rich breakfast with pot coffee. From above you can see the footprint of the crater (a sunken and vegetated area). The descent was the most exciting part because *literally* you slip on volcanic sand. Finally we stop at the bathroom to dust and go to the Cablebus and contemplate the murals of Iztapalapa, a great closure! Uff a fundamental part of the experience was cachets, the most loving guide dog that accompanied us throughout the trip. We love him!!! EYE! It’s a great experience but it’s worth going mental: slips and dust are part of the fun (there are loose stones all the way)!! It is important to read and follow the recommendations that José sends (ask for them in advance if you travel sooner), especially to wear hiking shoes, athletic and comfortable pants, windbreaker jacket, sunglasses and a change of clothes (complete). Finally, bring water in reusable bottle because we don't use any plastic! Widely recommended for adventurous people looking for more authentic and meaningful trips:)
