Description

Meet your guide in Mexico City in the morning and go to the beautiful Nevado De Toluca, which is the 4th highest summit in Mexico.  Your Nevado de Toluca tour starts in the early morning. Meet your guide and set off on a drive toward this natural wonder, leaving behind the city’s hustle and diving into tranquil mountain landscapes. As we ascend, take in sweeping views of valleys, forests, and towering peaks, feeling the crisp mountain air fill your senses. Upon arrival, prepare for an epic high-altitude trek through the volcanic terrain of El Nevado, a 4,680-meter (15,354 ft) giant. Feel the thrill of hiking along its mighty crater, where rugged cliffs and breathtaking panoramas unfold before your eyes. As you make your way up, admire the stunning twin lagoons, known as Laguna del Sol and Laguna de la Luna, nestled within the crater. Their deep blue waters contrast beautifully against the volcanic rock, creating a truly otherworldly sight. After conquering the heights, it’s time to descend and continue to Toluca, the charming capital of the State of Mexico. Stroll through its historic center, lined with elegant colonial buildings, beautiful churches, and plazas. Your guide will share fascinating stories about Toluca’s history, traditions, and cultural heritage, making each step through the city even more meaningful. No visit to Toluca is complete without indulging in its renowned local cuisine! Head to a traditional market, where you’ll have the chance to sample regional specialties like chorizo, quesadillas, mixiote, and more. Let the rich flavors delight your taste buds, offering you an authentic taste of Mexican gastronomy. Before concluding our journey, we’ll visit the Cosmovitral, the world’s largest stained-glass structure, set inside a botanical garden filled with exotic plants and vibrant colors. Get to know the dazzling artistry of the massive glass panels, which depict cosmic themes and natural elements in an awe-inspiring display of light and color. As the day winds down, relax in our vehicle as we take you back to Mexico City, bringing home incredible memories of a day spent exploring nature, culture, and history.
