1.
In the morning, leave Mexico City and enjoy a picturesque 2h drive through the Valley of Mexico before reaching Paso de Cortes. This mountain pass between the Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes lies at an altitude of 3400 m. Finally, reach La Joya, a high mountain hut at an elevation of 3977 m above sea level that is connected by one of the highest mountain roads in the country. This is a starting point for our intermediate-level hike up the slopes of the Iztaccihuatl volcano that both novices and those with more hiking experience will enjoy.
2.
During the hike, take memorable pictures and enjoy the tranquility and severe beauty of this mountainous place. Once ready, descend and go to the nearby town Amecameca to explore its pretty historic center and try some of its best food specialties in a local market. At the end of the tour, get back to our vehicle and relax on the way back to Mexico City.

If both conditions are met, we can shorten the stay at a particular location included in the program of tour so that you have time to visit the place you are interested in. Other changes such as extending the duration of the tour, changing the route, and adding extra participants, should be communicated to the Company at least 48h before the tour and will involve an extra fee.
