Highlights
  • Paso de Cortés - Simple, the goal is to get to the summit and enjoy your time while doing so. Awesome scenery and sense of accomplishment certainly help a lot.
    Now, the technical part.
    This is a mountaineering experience done in a 5,230 meters (17,160 ft) high mountain. It ranges from intermediate level to advanced level, depending on your shape and acclimatization time. (You can send us an email if you have questions)
    The mountain can be either an alpine climb (wake up at 3 am and do it entirely) or a day hike. The day hike can be done as long as you are a person who exercises regularly and you can find it amongst our other products.
    The alpine climb is demanding and requires great strength from your legs and high endurance. You would carry around 10 liters of weight for 12 hours up and down the mountain so you can get an idea.
    The alpine climb requires the use of crampons and ice axe. We provide a crash course the day before if you’ve never used them before.
    Don’t let the technical stuff scare you. If you feel you have a shot, give it a go, you’ll get the idea of what mountaineering really is, plus having a great time

Additional Information

This is the part where I tell you how awesome we are and all that, but let’s better get real shall we?

Ana, Luis and I have done this mountain around 150 times combined. We know it by heart now. This is important because conditions can change up there and fast and it’s better to be with someone that knows his way.
We have solid English, something most other companies don’t really have, so you’ll feel safe knowing that we will understand your needs and concerns.

What about safety? No worries, we are trained paramedics and got your back in case anything happens. But fear not, if you follow our advice you’ll be good as gold.

Finally. We bloody love the mountains. You’ll be hiking with people that love to be up there and that, just as you, want to have a good time.

If you think we are a good fit, don’t hesitate to write to us and we’ll provide all the info you need.

Iztaccihuatl los Rodillas from La Joya. - I had a fantastic time with my guide, Mauricio. He was able to sense not only my limitations but also to help me achieve something I could be proud of. We were not able to Summit due to my physical condition but I left with new personal records, memories and amazing photos.

Great hike, even better guide - Our guide Jose Luis is wonderful. Professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. He even went out of his way so that I can watch the World Cup final before we went into the mountain. Highly recommend!!!

It's correct, an experience of a lifetime! - A journey to the most amazing place, with two of your best friends, shout out to Aline (who also found my phone after it sliding down the mountain 😂📱) and Señor Pollo aka Señor Oreo aka Juan Carlos or Charlie 😂. The guides made the trip spectacular, attentive, fun, experience, kind, funny. It was more than I probably ever planned or hoped for. In addition, the company was amazing to plan with, it was all very last minute for me and they made every step seamless and enjoyable. Never felt rushed, pressured or uncomfortable - both in booking and on the trail. As far as the mountain itself, or volcano, it is extremely intense. I made it to 5000m, and then decided to head back down. Not due to any weather, or inability, but I reached my limit for that time, my energy was very low. I would highly recommend to acclimate to the elevation prior to attempt in the summit. But otherwise had an amazing time, I'll be back and finish another time. With the same tour company of course!

Fantastic tour to Iztaccihuatl!! Experienced alpinists - This was a fantastic tour!! It is very efficiently organized and I could tell that they are experienced alpinists. Everything was taken care of: equipment, tents, sleeping bags, alpine equipment, food and water. We only had to bring proper clothing and allot of energy! They picked us up in our Mexico City address and took us to the Iztaccihuatl, where we slept overnight at a camping site and then started heading up to the summit a bit past midnight. We reached the glacier by 8am. Our tour guide, Ricardo, was absolutely awesome! He was very knowledgeable of the mountain and absolutely fun to be with. We felt very safe at all times. This was definitely one of the most breathtaking trips I have taken in my life. I absolutely recommend Yacana guides if you want to do alpinism in Mexico!

Increible - Reaching the top of Iztaccihuatl was a great challenge and a fabulous experience. Ricardo is a very knowledgeable and professional guide with a top notch experience of the mountain and quality equipment for this adventure, I totally recommend his services for a safe ride in this dangerous environment. The landscapes and vistas along this sacred Aztec summit are incredible, be ready and go for it if you can!! ^^~
