Hike Iztaccíhuatl from Puebla with a certified English guide. Choose Level 1 to 3, enjoy volcano views, and get hotel pickup.
“We chose the level 2 and were challenged but Rafa knew when to stop and rest. We are 64 and 63 years old. If you are in good shape go for it. We made it and we’re only pushing it the last 4 km. We were lucky with the weather which Rafa said is good from Nov-Apr. Very scenic and glad we took the route that saw the waterfalls. Rafa did a great job getting us to see everything in a safe manner. He is a very experienced guide and guides all over Mexico and has experience around the world.”

“Renato was a lovely guide for my tour of Puebla. He communicated very well before and during my tour. He also customized information about Puebla and its history that was of particular interest to me, and went so far as to call a friend who knew of a particular aspect of its history that I was curious about and with which he was not familiar. I wouldn’t hesitate to tour with him again. Highly recommend.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
