This was one of the most fun activities I did in Guanajuato. We walked from our apartment - from the edge of town it's about 75 minutes up to the top, and it gets rocky and requires scrambling towards the summit. There was also a pack of wild goats, a cross and a Virgin Mary at the top. Great views of the whole valley, although the city itself looks far away. There are a few caves along the way that are cool resting spots.

The beautiful mountain overlooking Zacatecas, complete with a cable car for tourists.

Amazing views! Breath taking! Great place to take some great pictures of the town. The only little thing the air is very thin due to the altitude so it can be difficult for some people to breath.

This glaciated volcano offers a challenging climb for experienced climbers.

We coordinated a travel itinerary with Roberto Flores, who owns & operates Orizaba Mountain Guides, to include an acclimatization Hike to Malinche and then a summit attempt on Pico de Orizaba. We were picked up at our Mexico City hotel and transported to the base of Malinche for a self-guided acclimatization hike. Upon return from the hike, our driver offered snacks, fruit, and water. We then drove to the OMG lodge at San Miguel Zoapan. The accommodations at Zoapan were excellent, with comfortable beds, hot showers, and nourishing meals prepared by (2) wonderful ladies at the lodge. The next morning we woke up for breakfast, selected and packed our climbing gear, and met our climbing guide, Julio. We then drove for about 2 hrs from the lodge up to the Grande Piedra hut at about 13,800’. We then went for a 1-hr acclimatization hike with Julio, learned basic self-arrest technique with the ice axe, and became familiar with the use of the crampons. After this initial training, we had a wonderful dinner prepared by Julio and his assistant, Juan. We then hung out for a bit, cleaned the dishes, prepped our gear, and waited for sunset to get some rest. After a sleepless yet restful night, we woke up at midnight for a 1 am departure. Julio is an excellent guide and will allow you to dictate the pace, within reason. We reached the summit around 7:30 am and returned to the hut around 11:30 am. After a bit of time to rest at the hut, the 4WD picked us up to deliver us back to the lodge in Zoapan. We were allowed to shower, pack our bags, and have lunch, before returning to Mexico City. I highly recommend Orizaba Mountain Guides should you plan to embark upon any high altitude adventures in Central Mexico.

Wow. I yhought we were reasonably fit, but had to search for my breath on the way up. Stopped a number of times, and wasn't sure I was going to make it. It was all worth the effort, but my legs were sore for days after. Tip: take cash up with you as it costs (55 pesos each the day we were there) to enter the pyramid area at the top of the climb.
