Mexico, Orizaba (5636m), Mountaineering
Trip overview
México - La Malinche - Piedra Grande Base Camp (4,200m) - Pico de Orizaba (5,636m) - Piedra Grande Base Camp (4,200 m) - Zoapan - México
Why go there?
Orizaba (formally known as Pico de Orizaba) is North America’s third-tallest peak and a classic climb. Situated in Mexico, it has it all: culture, high mountain huts, stunning views, and the opportunity to get your crampons into plenty of snow and ice. This mountain is easily accessible to just about anyone willing to train and work hard on the climb.
During this trip you will:
- Climb Mexico’s tallest peak
- Build technical mountaineering skills
- Experience Mexico and its people
- Explore ancient Aztec culture and relics
La Malinche (4,450 m) is the mountain we hike for acclimatization. It is non-technical and can be climbed in light trekking shoes. The route initially follows a forest path (with fir and pine trees) and has a slope of up to 40 degrees. It then continues on a trail through grasslands, followed by a rocky path. After that, hikers navigate between boulders and on rocky scree. This is a long hike, taking about 6-7 hours to ascend and 3-4 hours to descend.
