Your adventure begins with pickup from your accommodation, where your expert guide welcomes you and prepares you for an unforgettable trekking experience. Sit back and enjoy a 1.5-hour drive to La Malinche National Park, home to Mexico’s 6th-highest peak, standing at 4,461 metres (14,636 feet) above sea level.

Upon arrival, your guide will provide trekking poles and helmets and offer a quick briefing on the best hiking techniques to help you maintain energy and endurance. As the journey begins, you’ll trek through dense mountain forests, gradually gaining altitude while surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. Your guide will keep you motivated, ensuring a steady pace as you ascend towards the summit.

Midway through the hike, you’ll reach a sandy plateau, the perfect spot to take a well-earned break and refuel with a light lunch before tackling the final stretch. The air becomes thinner, the terrain more rugged, but every step brings you closer to an incredible panoramic reward.

Finally, after a challenging yet exhilarating climb, you’ll stand at the summit of La Malinche, taking in the breathtaking 360° views of Puebla, Tlaxcala, and even distant volcanoes like Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. Spend around 30 minutes at the top to rest, capture stunning photos, and soak in the sense of accomplishment.

The descent is faster and easier, taking about half the time of the ascent. As you make your way back down, you’ll have time to appreciate the beauty of the landscape from a new perspective. Once you reach the starting point, your driver will be waiting to transfer you back to your accommodation, concluding a truly unforgettable high-altitude adventure.

Whether you’re an experienced hiker or looking for a challenge, this trek to La Malinche’s summit is the perfect way to experience Mexico’s natural beauty, test your endurance, and enjoy the thrill of conquering one of the country’s most iconic peaks!
