Trek in La Malinche National Park

We will begin our journey with a pickup from your hotel in Cholula at the scheduled time. Our destination is Tlaxcala , where La Malinche National Park is located, ready to commence a rewarding 6-hour hike.

Throughout the trek, participants will traverse a distance of 2.4 to 3.10 mi (4 to 5 km), ascending to a peak elevation of approximately 2361 ft (3800 m). The climb involves an elevation gain of 434 ft (700 m) and is categorically suitable for individuals with beginner to intermediate hiking skills. The scenic route through pine and fir forests ensures that even those without extensive experience at high altitudes will feel comforted.

We will pause at an enchanting spot known as Los Arenales, providing an excellent opportunity to unwind and admire the stunning surroundings. Here, a closer view of the majestic La Malinche volcano will be revealed.

Weather permitting, participants may delight in the breathtaking sight of the volcano chain including Citlaltépetl, Popocatépetl, and Iztaccíhuatl — truly a scene that feels like it’s straight from a cinematic masterpiece!

After we have relished the experience, we will begin our descent and board the vehicles to return to Cholula. You can expect to arrive back at your hotel approximately 13 hours after our initial departure.
