About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- patcQ1497ZU0 contributionsBeautiful quiet hike with amazing views and great tour guide!Amazing trip well worth it! Alan was our tour guide and he was great - really friendly, fun and knowledgable. There is a grocery store near meeting point to grab breakfast but you also stop on the way for the bathroom and can get breakfast from a street vendor there. The journey there took around 1.5 hours with some amazing views on the drive up. We were given the option between an 8km or 12km route. Views were amazing. Wasn’t a particularly difficult or steep hike. The tour company offer some longer and more challenging hikes if that is what you’re after. I brought an extra layer but didn’t need it as was warm. They provide a backpack and plenty of snacks and water and a delicious sandwich which we ate at the top. On the way back we stopped at a small place for some amazing tacos, all included in the price of the tour. Drive back took over 2 hours due to bad traffic but not much can be done about that! Highly recommend this tour - made even better by the brilliant Alan!Written September 2, 2024
- Red_Panda22180 contributionsThe best experience of my stay in cdmx!Had the most wonderful day hiking with a group under the guidance of Sergio and Alan! both guides were attentive and checking in with the group from time to time. Arnulfo on whatsapp was always present. All in all a wonderful team! Thank you for the wonderful experience!Written August 2, 2024
- alexsD2030UF0 contributionsWonderful experience on Nevado de TolucaEverything about this trip was amazing. Our guides did such a great job, we went with Sergio and Alan. They picked us up in CDMX, took us to Toluca, guided us up the mountain, which is a gorgeous hike, then took us for the best tacos after! Would totally recommend them.Written August 1, 2024

- shiyuang20240 contributionsA challenging yet rewarding experienceThis is an amazing experience. The mountain and lake is really beautiful but this is much more of a mountaineering experience than just sight-seeing. Our guide Carlos is an experienced hiker and he is quite patient and attentive. He prepared lunch, snacks and water for us. It took roughly 3 hours from Mexico City to the starting point of the hike, and it took us about 7 hours to finish the hike (we had a group of 4 and we went all the way to the summit). After the hike, we went to dinner at a restaurant that's half way back to Mexico City. I would say the climb to the summit feels a lot 'wilder' and, considering the altitude and terrain, definitely more challenging than the well-known 'hard' trails I've visited in US national parks (e.g. Upper Yosemite Falls / Angels Landing @ Zion / Old Rag @ Shenandoah). There's not a lot of places where you can climb a mountain at such altitude in a single day, and I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in such an experience.Written July 2, 2024
- Pioneer075918703930 contributionsAmazing Mountain Tour with a Professional Guide!We had an incredible time on this mountain tour! The scenery was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views at every turn. Our tour guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They shared fascinating historical insights about the mountains, which made the experience even more enriching. We feel so sorry for our friend who couldn’t join us; they really missed out on an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beauty and history of these majestic mountains.Written June 20, 2024
- Nomad460624275280 contributionsSigue adelante!Wow, what an awesome experience! We had Ceasar and Sergio as our guides for our group of 9. Half the group stayed at the lagoon, while the other half summited El Campanario (based on your preference). We ate dinner at a lovely little cabaña in La Marquesa where I ate until I couldn't eat anymore. 110% would take this tour again! It's been my most favorite experience so far in Mexico City. For those wondering how hard this hike was - I don't hike, but I do exercise every day and consider myself to be at an above-average fitness level for a 30-year-old. I had already spent 4 days in Mexico City to acclimate to the altitude, and I did not get altitude sickness at Nevado de Toluca (which is double the altitude of Mexico City). But even though I didn't get altitude sickness, I still struggled to reach the summit of El Campanario (I ended up getting double thigh cramps during the hike!). However, our guide Sergio made sure we took it slowly and took enough breaks, and in the end, we all made it! Make sure to eat a good breakfast and hydrate before the hike!Written June 10, 2024
- G2197VBmaries0 contributionsGo meet Popo!The trek day was amazing! We loved it. It was a tiny bit challenging sometimes, but in a rewarding way, mainly because of the altitude. But we felt really well taken care of, enjoyed fantastic views, the quietness that is so hard to find around CDMX and also learned a lot about nature and Mexico in general. The meet and greet with the volcanos, trees, birds was fantastic!Written June 7, 2024
- 925zehans0 contributionsExceeded all expectations - Incredible day to Toluca’s summitI just finished my tour to the summit of Nevado de Toluca, and even though I was the only one on the trip, the tour still went ahead, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Cesar, my guide, was simply amazing, friendly and entertaining. He was always making sure I was okay, especially since I hadn’t had time to properly acclimatize before the tour. Despite this, he encouraged me to go as far as I could, ensuring I wasn’t pushing myself too hard. Thanks to his support, we made it to the top. Not to forget that he’s an incredible photographer. The day was absolutely incredible, with a clear sky and breathtaking views. To top it off, we ended the day with delicious tacos in a small family kitchen. Arnulfo, the coordinator, was also great, always available on WhatsApp to answer any questions I had. Overall, it was a better-than-expected experience. Highly recommended!Written June 3, 2024
- X3222MFkurts0 contributionsUn buen viejeI had a great time! My guide Carlos was intentional, knowledgeable and pleasant. Disfrutaba la montañas. Vive México. This tour can also see three states in one day!Written May 27, 2024
- lianal8790 contributionsGorgeous hike through different terrains.This was a breathtaking hike through multiple different landscapes. The hike itself wasn't too strenuous, but the altitude is very high so I had to catch my breath a few times, and I am a fairly young and active hiker. Cesar was the best guide! He was attentive and informative and overall very fun to hike with. He was great at letting us know what to expect. The best part was the different landscapes that we hiked through - mountains, forests, creeks, and waterfalls. I also liked how accommodating they were by providing trekking poles, snacks, even a rain poncho. The lunch and dinner that were prepared were also delicious. I would definitely recommend this tour!Written May 21, 2024

My guide picked me up early and off we went. He jumped the line and passed all the “shuttle buses” up to the top. Always concerned with how I was feeling (with high altitude) we hiked almost to the top. (Helmets are needed for the last part.). Very crowded at first but we soon left crowds behind. He dropped me off where I asked. Great guide!
