We climbed three peaks with 3Summits Adventure: La Malinche, Iztacćhuatl & Pico de Orizaba. Our climbs were organised by Karla & Alvaro who were just amazing. They were in contact with us daily before/during/after our trips to ensure everything was in order. Our guides were Alejandro, Eduardo & Cristiano. They were all highly skilled/experienced guides with phenomenal personalities - so helpful, friendly, positive & encouraging. We had such a great week climbing these mountains. All the logistics were taken care of and we were just focused on climbing and having a great time. We will definitely use this company again!

In December of 2023, my two teenage kids, and I booked a climbing trip to Citlaltepetl - Pico de Orizaba with Orizaba Mountain Guides. The pre trip communication with owner/operator, Roberto "Oso" Flores Rodriguez, was outstanding. This was confirmed when you stay at the Hostel and you can freely observe how busy Roberto's schedule actually is. The logistics for pick up from Mexico City and the return were flawless. Unfortunately, due to my daughter's school schedule, we had to travel to the Hostel from Mexico City on December 12th which is a National holiday - Day of the Virgin Guadalupe. We felt bad for our driver missing a family day and also for the extra 2 hours travel time due to holiday traffic. If you can avoid this travel date, please do so. Roberto is incredibly flexible, informative, and cooperative when it comes to developing your own climbing itinerary, which we did for Citlaltepetl. I am absolutley confident in stating that our itinerary was critical in achieving my dream of summiting Citlaltepetl with my kids as a 60th birthday milestone. The Hostel itself, in San Miguel Zoapan can best be described as both wonderful and advantageous. Location is perfect for daily acclimation and for proximity to acclimation hikes, particularly if your primary focus is summiting Citlaltepetl. We particularly enjoyed the the surrounding pastoral scenery with outstanding views of Citlaltepetl from the rooftop terrace. Roberto's operation is very community orientated and one can readily observe how content, committed, and gracious his staff are. Everyone of his staff is treated with respect and as result the operation resembles a family atmosphere. As well, all of his drivers are skilled and courteous without exception. The food served at the hostel and at the upper base camp was excellent being both nutritious, flavourful and generous in portion size. On numerous occasions we observed portion sizes which would easily equate to $50 plus meal in Canadian restaurants. Staying at the hostel afforded us an opportunity to observe Roberto's kindness and generosity which was extended to both his guests and to spontanous climbers who ocassionally arrived without adequate gear. When people arrived at the Hostel lacking some basic essentials Roberto graciously assisted in preparing them for their asscent by sourcing the gear they were lacking. Roberto has strict standards for his guides which we can attest to. Our guides, Poncho and Carolina are both highly accomplished and passionate guides and exemplify the eptiome of professionlism. Carolina was solely responsible for my daughter's successfully summiting. Her patience, encouragement, and competence was exemplary. If you are looking for exceptional service, staff, and facility look no further than OMG.

A huge challenge, beautiful views, making every drop of sweat count. Very thin air due to altitude, and clearing a very steep slope are the price to pay for getting to the highest peak between Colombia and Canada. If not knowledgeable, I recommend you get a guide. We used "Rock and Ice Expeditions MX", hired through QueLocoTours, and they were simply amazing.
