Overview

The Izta Popo National Park has 2 volcanoes in the same place. We have designed hiking routes so you can enjoy the incredible views of the dormant volcano Iztaccíhuatl and the active volcano Popocatépetl. Our certified guide will explain the flora and fauna of the place. Live and breathe pure air at about 3,600 meters above sea level and 4,300 meters above sea level. It is an excellent place to share a wonderful experience alone, with friends or family. The tour includes round-trip transportation. Choose between: Level 1. The walk begins at about 3,600 meters above sea level and ends at 3,980 meters above sea level. The trail is marked sandy. The total is approximately 8-9km of which 4km are moderate climbs and 4km are downhills. Level 2. The total is 14km of which 4km are uphill and the rest downhill with a few meters of moderate ascent. The trail is marked, mostly sandy with an outward view of the Izta and a return view of the Popo. Level 3. It is a 7km walk at an altitude of between 4,000 and 4,500 meters above sea level where there will be sand and stone.

Great experience on the volcano!

Published on Dec, 2024

Great experience! Very professional and safe. Beautiful country. Perfect way to experience the volcanos. Luis was personable and well informed, and I learned a lot about the flora, fauna, and geology of the area. He accommodated my interest in a challenging experience.

Luis was a great guide. He went at the pace we wanted which turns out was faster than normal with no complains. He was helpful and kind. Highly recommend!

A must tour when in Puebla or Cholula

Published on Oct, 2024

A wonderful experience all around. The area and volcano was beautiful. We did level one and it was a bit tough because we were not used to the altitude but totally worth it. Luis was an amazing guide. I highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience.

Memorable experience

Trek to gorgeous volcano views

Published on Aug, 2024

Gorgeous national park between volcanos. Que Loco tours was incredibly accommodating when unexpected travel issues arose. Our guide Luis was exceptionally kind and helpful. We probably misjudged our ability to hike at this altitude. "Easy" is a relative term for a 90+ minute uphill trek past the treeline to a striking viewpoint. If you are in good shape I highly recommend this experience!
