멕시코 횡단 화산대 최고의 등산 경로

Challenging, great views, easy to navigate.

A short, somewhat technical section on the final ridge to reach the summit of Pico del Águila. This area is at risk of falling due to its narrowness. Be careful when crossing.

This part (going up to the summit) is quite steep, you WILL need to use your hands. It’s almost like climbing but not steep enough to require a rope. Be extra careful if the rock has snow on it. Counter intuitively, you have to climb almost straight ahead, do not try to circumvent the rock by the side. Aim for the « hole » just on the left of the pink granite (see annotated photo)

Amazing place to welcome the day full of fresh air and beautiful views at the top.

A lovely four hour all round hike up Cerro Ajusco. A lovely day hike starting at 8.30am from Ajusco pass (from the main road). Sunny weather, great company and views...what more could one ask for? You start through a mixture of nice footpaths through pine forests then get up onto a lovely little ridge outside of the treeline. The last two hundred meters is an easy scramble and then you gain the summit where there is a nice cross. This is Pico del Aguila (the summit of the eagle) and then you drop down another col and gain a secondary summit namely Cruz del Marquez (Cross of the Marquis). You then drop down into the woods again to finish where you started. A great day out in beautiful Mexico!

This is around a six hour hike starting from the IMSS campsite/cabin area which has 40 cabins and other recreation facilities including restaurants. You hike up through the woods onto the mountain proper before you have a bit of a scree slope ascent with some scrambling to the summit.

La Malinche, also known as Matlalcueye or Malintzin, is an active volcano (dormant for the last 3,100 years) located in the states of Tlaxcala and Puebla in Mexico. Officially, its summit reaches 4,461 metres (14,636 ft) above sea level, though it is generally considered to be closer to 4,440 metres (14,567 ft), using GPS measurements. It is the highest peak in Tlaxcala, the fifth-highest in Puebla, the sixth-highest in Mexico, the 23rd-highest in North America, and the 252nd-highest in the world. The summit is 22.4 kilometres (13.9 mi) from Tlaxcala, 28.3 kilometres (17.6 mi) from Puebla, and 118 kilometres (73 mi) from Mexico City. The climate is cold near the summit and mild on the lower slopes.

Carolina is absolutely right. Wen you are going up Izta and dawn breaks upon you the views across to the continually smoking Popo is amazing. Every time you turn back to take a picture you just have this marvellous volcano as a back drop. I simply love Mexico, its people and its mountains!
