table of contents

What kind of mountain is Pico de Orizaba?

Its original name is Sitraltepetl, which means "star mountain" in Nahuatl.It is the highest peak in Mexico and the third highest mountain in North America.We will guide you through a route that departs from the base elevation of 3m on the south face (Puebla side) of Pico de Orizaba and goes back and forth about 4000 kilometers one way to the hut at 4700m.

This mountain is also known as a training ground for climbers aiming for Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America.

How difficult is the route?

The route that I will guide you through on this tour is not difficult, so even those who have no mountaineering experience can enjoy it.From the hut at the destination, you can see the majestic Mt. Sitlaltepetl directly in front of you, making it a perfect photo spot.If you are thinking of climbing Mt. Iztaccihuatl or Mt. Malinche, we recommend acclimatization here.
