Hiking above 4000m with a true local

Great experience with a true local! We are quite experienced hikers but didnt know how we would have handled the altitude. With a smooth pace we managed to hike from 3900 to 4500m with a beautiful view, despite the cloudy weather. Aaron shared a lot of interesting information with us, I would definitely recommend!
Hard hike - great views

Really good experience hiking with Ariel. A difficult home for some no doubt due to the altitude - we found it tough at times, but worth the effort. Spectacular views. Hosts provided drinks etc that weren’t expected. Very pleased with this experience overall
Nice hike on Izta

The guide was very knowledgeable, adapted the pace to the fact that we are not acclimatized to the altitude. Extra care for safety was taken.

I had the best guide from Unlimited Experiences. He is a mountain hiker & has been on this hike many times. He knew the route for getting to the park & came equipped with extra gear in case I needed it. I did use the helmet. He was very knowledgeable about the area, geological info of the volcano & climate. I couldn’t have asked for a better time. He helped me acheive my goal to reach Portillo 1 & we did it before the rain storm arrived. Highly recommend this tour company & Ariel as a guide. Hope to be able to so this again.
Highlight of our trip to Puebla!

This was my first experience with Viator and it was extremely positive! Communication was great before and during our trip. Itza Popo National Park is gorgeous and extremely special. Our guide gave us so much information that helped us with knowledge and appreciation of the park, the surrounding locals, Puebla and Mexico. Note that for this tour, our guide didn't take us to the top of Itza or Popo, that would not be possible in a day trip. For those interested in this hike, make sure you are in good shape and have adjusted to the elevation. Overall, I would do this as again!
