We’ll soon be in La Joya, a mountain hut perched at a breathtaking elevation of 3977 m. Here, surrounded by nature’s splendor, the conquer trek of 4-hours begins towards the snow line of the volcano.
As we ascend the slopes of Iztaccihuatl, you’ll be rewarded with the marveling panorama, revealing the awe beauty of the Valley of Mexico and the sight of Popocatepetl, Mexico’s second-tallest volcano.
