Excellent tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Very nice tour. Both the tour organizer Alfredo and the driver Ruben were super helpful. I enjoyed every moment of the trip.

A less well known natural wonder of the world….

Published on Mar, 2024

Alfredo is a wonderful tour guide that customized the itinerary for our trip to hike the Paritutin. He also provided car service from and to Guadalajara for a separate service fee which made it so easy for us. Paricutin is not an easy hike given almost the entire trail is also lava rocks, but he did the whole hike with us and is super supportive. He also has a great network with the locals to make this trip super memorable (including bringing horses). We are very happy to check off our 7 natural wonders list with Alfredo!

Made it!

Published on Nov, 2023

Thanks to Alfredo and his team a dream came true! We made our way to and from the crater via horses and then hiked to the edge of the crater for some spectacular views including the other craters in the region, the Paricutin lava field and the church.

Awe-inspiring trip to one of the world wonders with a world class tour guide!

Published on Nov, 2023

This excursion was amazing and Alejandro did a great job of giving us context of the history or the Paricutin Volcano phenomenon, which is one of the natural wonders of the world! Definitely recommend taking this trek deeper into Mexico, meeting some amazing people in remote areas that normally tourists don't see. Alejandro was a 5 star guide, giving us clear expectations on what we were going to see and experience, being patient with us we hiked to the top of the volcano, and taking us to the ruins of the church nearby as well. If you have never been or seen this wonder of the world, we definitely recommend booking this trip with Alejandro as you will not be disappointed in the experience and you could not pick a better guide than him!

Knowledgeable and easy going!

Published on Oct, 2021

Alfredo was knowledgeable and easy going. We had a very nice time with him! Running down a cinder cone was thrilling. Horseback ride was fun on the way there but on the way back we walk because all our asses were hurting lol
