Popocatepetl Volcano Gorge: Canyon & Sulphur Springs Hike

11 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English and 1 more

Walk inside the veins of a volcano. This tour takes you deep into the "Cañada de Nexpayantla," a unique geological gorge carved by the meltwater of the active Popocatépetl volcano. Unlike open trails, here you are immersed in a canyon of rock, forest, and water.

Why choose this tour? • Unique Geology: You will visit a natural "Sulphur Spring" (Nacimiento de Azufre), where the water comes out golden/orange due to minerals—a direct connection to the volcano's energy. • The Hike: We trek approximately 10 km (6 miles) with a moderate elevation gain (+300m). The path winds through a dense forest before opening up to the canyon walls. • The Destination: A serene, discreet waterfall tucked away in the gorge, perfect for meditation and photos.

All-Inclusive Service: Private transport from CDMX, certified guides, safety equipment, and insurance.
