Iztaccíhuatl is a beautiful mountain with two glaciers, and although it is not a highly technical mountain, it does require excellent physical condition due to the height and the time it will take to reach the top.

The Pico de Orizaba, the tip of Mexico, is one of the most complete mountains that our country has. This volcano will let you appreciate the magnificent Jamapa glacier that will take us to the top.
