Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park Hike
Description
Discover a captivating environment and delve into the local legends associated with it as you embark on a hiking adventure through the Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park.
Hiking Experience in Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park
Following your pick-up from a designated hotel in Puebla, we will make our way to the Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park. Our journey will take us through the well-known Paso de Cortés, leading us to the La Joyita parking area, where our hiking adventure will commence.
Our trek will follow the renowned path known as Ruta de los Portillos, a 4-kilometer trail that seamlessly blends icy vistas with entirely uninhabited terrains. Along the hike, you will marvel at breathtaking views of the park’s two majestic volcanoes, Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl, all while uncovering the legends related to these peaks and the tales of Tláloc's attendants.
We will take a moment to rest and delight in a savory quesadilla accompanied by a warm beverage. After this break, we’ll resume our expedition, where you might spot native wildlife such as coyotes, badgers, lizards, and deer concealed in the conifer forests. For those interested in mycology, keep an eye out for some of the various fungal species found throughout the park. This will be a genuinely remarkable experience!
After approximately 4 hours of hiking and discovery, we will return to the main parking area and make our way back to your hotel in Puebla, expected to arrive around 5 pm.
