Offered in: English and 1 more

Escape the city and hike the foothills of the Iztaccíhuatl volcano on a guided adventure. Discover the "Bubble Waterfall" (fed by volcanic meltwater), visit the legendary Goblin’s Cave to perform a local paper-boat ritual, and explore the historic La Castañeda hacienda.

What makes this tour unique? • Double Expertise: You are accompanied by two guides—a certified adventure guide for the trail and a historian for the culture. • The Hike: We trek approximately 8 km (5 miles) through high-altitude pine forests. The trail is beginner-friendly but active, perfect for nature lovers. • All-Inclusive Comfort: We handle all logistics, including round-trip transportation, hiking poles, helmets, snacks, and insurance.

Itinerary Highlights: 1. Cascada de la Burbuja: A pristine waterfall in the middle of the forest. 2. Cave of the Goblin: A mystical spot for local legends. 3. La Castañeda: A guided history tour of this architectural gem in Amecameca.
