Mexico’s Volcanoes: Beren & Team Take First Acclimatization Hike

November 5, 2017

Posted by: Jake Beren

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mexico

Elevation: 10,000'

On our drive from Mexico City we were treated to views of La Malinche, Ixta and Pico de Orizaba. Today’s clarity was one for the books and we made the most of it on our first acclimatization hike. One of the advantages of this style of trip is that you can pretty quickly get in position to be at altitude AND get a good night’s rest indoors. After a beautiful hike through the “arboles ponderosicas” we made it to some lounging at our cabana before dinner. Hope everyone up North is doing great! RMI Guide Jake Beren
