XTRA day trip with Aztec Explorers: hiking at Nevado de Toluca volcano and exploring Metepec (Pueblo Mágico), THIS Saturday the 1st of September. Only 650 Mexican pesos, includes private transport for our group and guided hike by certified guide. Small groups, explanations in English and Spanish.
The Nevado de Toluca is a large dormant stratovolcano of 4680 m (15350 ft) in central Mexico, located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) west of Mexico City near the city of Toluca. It is generally cited as the fourth highest of Mexico's peaks, after Pico de Orizaba, Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl.
With our van/small bus we can drive up near the volcano and after a steep but nice walk of about 30 to 40 minutes we have great views on the volcano crater. There are two crater lakes on the floor of the basin that we can visit on a walk of about 1 to 1,5 hours, at about 4,200 m (13,800 ft), the larger Lago del Sol (Sun Lake) and the smaller, but deeper, Lago de la Luna (Moon Lake). If you just like to walk up to the crater to enjoy the great views that is also possible.
The walk / hike is not too heavy, we take it slow to get ajusted to the hight; you can make the trip as heavy as you want, during this great encounter with nature. After the hike we will visit the beatiful town of Metepec (one of the 111 Pueblos Mágicos).
