Pico de Orizaba 2 Day Hiking Tour

Day 1: Puebla - Pico de Orizaba

After picking you up at your hotel in Puebla at 8:30 am, we'll head east towards Pico de Orizaba, also known as Citlaltépetl. Are you ready to explore the highest volcano in North America? 

Once in Tlachichuca we'll change the minibus for a 4x4 vehicle that will take us to the north refuge of Pico de Orizaba, where we'll set up our tent and have lunch. We'll take a short hike to acclimatise to the terrain and then you'll have the afternoon free.

We'll have dinner and go to bed early to rest until the early hours of the morning. Tomorrow we'll embark on a hiking route that you'll never forget!

Day 2: Pico de Orizaba - Puebla 

At 12:30 am we'll be up for breakfast at the refuge. We'll start our trekking route on the Pico de Orizaba under the blanket of stars. The hike to the top of this dormant volcano will take about 8 hours and we'll reach the summit of 5747 metres (18854,99 feet)! 

We'll enjoy the incredible views of the volcano and discover lots of interesting facts about this land: How was this place formed? Is it true that Citlaltépetl is the only volcano in the world with frozen lava

On this hiking route we'll admire incredible landscapes from the heights and will help us to get to know the flora and fauna of the high mountains. We'll also enjoy a truly magical sunrise.

Gradually we'll start our return to the base camp, a 4-hour downhill route. Once the walk is over, we'll eat our appetite and recover our strength in the refuge before returning to the 4x4.

We'll finish the activity between 5 pm and 6 pm at your hotel in Puebla.
