Bring a sub-zero sleeping bag and a suitable tent. The camping area is reserved for tour agencies with paid guides. To reach the refuge, a four-wheel-drive 4x4 vehicle is required, as the terrain is very uneven and rugged.

When writing the review, I forgot to change the type of route from hiking to cycling

This place is perfect to take a break and gives you the option of choosing two routes to see other towns

The Piedra Grande Hut is a large building that could sleep about 40-60 people. There is no charge to sleep there. Leaving your gear during your climb is a bit of a risk. The hut is in good condition but basic shelter is all you get. Any supplies (food, water, fuel) you need to plan and bring on your own. It is a busy hut and can get full quite easily on weekends.

If you hike Cofre de Perote then walk to the end of the ridge line south of it and you will get to a tin hut where you will find a fine view point of Pico de Orizaba.

This is a narrow made made stairway on an airy rocky ridge line on the way up to Cofre de Perote. You can walk up the road but this is a nicer alternative. The 'stairs' are bordered by flimsy looking posts and chains. A good test for your vertigo!

Cofre de Perote, also known by its Nahuatl names Naupa-Tecutépetl (from Nāuhpa-Tēuctēpetl) and Nauhcampatépetl, both meaning something like "Place of Four Mountain" or "Mountain of the Lord of Four Places", is an inactive volcano located in the Mexican state of Veracruz, at the point where the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, home to all of Mexico's highest peaks, joins the Sierra Madre Oriental. With an elevation of 4,282 metres (14,049 ft) above sea level, Cofre de Perote is Mexico's eighth highest mountain summit. Cofre de Perote is a shield volcano, shaped very differently from the stratovolcanic Pico de Orizaba, which lies about 50 km (31 mi) to the southeast. A cofre is a coffer, and the name alludes to a volcanic outcropping on the shield which constitutes the peak of the mountain. To the north is the town of Perote, Veracruz, after which the mountain is named. The area surrounding the volcano was protected by the Mexican government as a national park, known as Cofre de Perote National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Cofre de Perote), in 1937.
