At a height of 5,230 metres, the towering Iztaccíhuatl is Mexico's third-highest volcano. This round-trip tour from Mexico City will give you the chance to climb to its snow line and enjoy panoramic views.
You'll start with a drive through the Valley of Mexico to reach the Paso de Cortés, a mountain pass lying in between the Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl volcanoes. From here, you'll continue to La Joya – one of the highest roads in Mexico – where your four-hour hike will begin. As you journey across the ancient lava fields of this dormant volcano, you'll be able to soak up views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers.
After the hike, you'll visit a market in the historic town of Amecameca de Juárez where you'll be able to try some local culinary specialities, including rabbit mixiotes and pulque.
