Save the wilderness...

In fact the Nevado de Toluca (14,974 ft.) is not the 4th highest mountain in México, It's the 5th. Teyotl peak (15,288 ft.) is the 4th highest mountain in the country. It is very easy to climb and it has a great view. The Nevado de Toluca volcano is a unique mountain because it has two lakes in the crater.

Pico de Orizaba is the highest mountain in México, on the north face it has glaciers. Nowadays the Jampa glacier is very dangerous because of the global warming and the climate change, the glacier is melting and there are a lot of cracks, you must be careful.

The Iztaccíhuatl volcano is a unique mountain in México, it has two glaciers and it's very dangerous; you have to be careful on the "knee", check well your crampons and follow the marks. It is an amazing hike, you can see the two highest volcanoes in México (Citlaltépetl and Popocatépetl) from the summit.

Mineral del chico is a rock paradise, and Las Ventanas is the best spot for sport climbing in the national park. It's a magic place with great routes for beginners and a beautiful view of the woods.
