This is simply one of the best mountains out there and it is one of my favourites anywhere I have been. If you are from the UK think the Snowdon Horseshoe at 4,700m with 99% less visitors, permanent sun and a proper confined narrow summit. It has quaint lakes, nice easy scrambling and great views. All within two hours or so from Mexico City. I have a lot of information on this mountain and if you want it as well as route information (standard and the complete rim traverse) please click here: komoot.com/tour/285726687

Hiking

We hiked this summit early November, the view was spectacular, temperatures were just around freezing at the summit, bring warm clothes. Getting there from the east is quite a climb, you will need your hands but it’s definitely doable. (rocks were mostly not covered in snow). We did the route from the parking then lake la Luna, summit, down by the steep path and then lake del sol in 6h tops, lots of pauses included. I would definitely recommend !

This is the recording we made:
