Important Information

• IMPORTANT: If you plan to book less than 48 hours before the tour, please confirm availability with the organize before booking. Otherwise, if the organizer cannot accommodate your booking for any reason, it will be canceled with a full refund. BOOKING: For conservation purposes, national park authorities require advance registration for each visitor, which takes up to one week. If you book less than a week before the tour, you risk being unable to access the main trail. In such cases, we may substitute it with an alternative hike without prior notice or refund. HIKING ROUTE: By default, we follow the standard route described in the tour description. However, due to unfavorable weather or a limited number of daily visitor permits in Iztaccíhuatl-Popocatépetl National Park (if permits are unavailable on the day of your booking, we won’t be able to reach the standard trailhead by car and will need to hike 2 hours from the park entrance), the route may change without prior notice.
