Hiking La Malinche (Malintzin)
La Malinche (Malintzin) is the 6th higest mountain in Mexico (4.420 m -14.500 ft) and most of the year remains without snow. Therefore it’s a much easier climb than its neighbors Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccihuatl. Anyway, bad weather conditions, bad planning or lack of physical condition may turn this climb into an unforgettable one.

It is safe to say this experience with Angel & Dani was truly one that we will remember for life. The whole experience was well organised, the lodge we stayed in was amazing. The climb gear itself was well provided. There is not a single thing we would complain about. The guides Dani and Angel were just amazing.
18 March, 2022Tremendo tiempo que la pasamos. Los tres guías Danny y Alejandro fueron puntuales, pacientes y se aseguraron que mis meta fue alcanzada. El viaje sobrepasó mis expectativas y lo recomiendo!!!
18 January, 2022My first mountaineering trek was awesome, from coordination to the guides themselves were all excellent and practiced safety first. I'm will definitely book another trek with 3 Summits!

29 December, 2021The guides were awesome, helpful people. Definitely would take this hike again!
17 December, 2021Successful summit of Pico de Orizaba with a group of unexiprenced climbers! Highly recommend 3 summits. Very experienced and knowledgeable of the mountain. Would not have summited without them 10 out of 10. Mesh is the GOAT

WGuides are the best, super helpful, always motivating me to push forward. Both mountains are challenging but the view at the top is well worth it.
29 November, 2021An absolutely amazing experience. My first mountaineering experience and was given all the guidance I needed. Christian on La Malinche and Mesh on Pico were great guides. Would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to reach the highest point in Mexico!!
8 November, 2021Great trip for both Izta and Pico with 3Summit Adventure! We had an incredible experience and every detail was thought through. Great communication and we really enjoyed climbing with our guide, not only was he an expert on the mountain, he was also extremely supportive and a pleasure to be around. Thank you for the great trip.

Lo súper recomiendo. Me encantó TODO, los guías mega preparados se nota que saben, dormí en una cama en vez de en una casa de campaña eso te ayuda a descansar para el día siguiente, te rentan el equipo que te falté, la comida rica como en casa y de los snacks no te tienes que preocupar porque es mucho.

The Climb:
The most common route, due to its beauty and accessibility is beginning at “Las Cabañas del IMSS” (3.330 m – 10.950 ft) were we leave our car. From there we begin walking through a beautiful high altitude forest. Sort of half through the climb, the forest leads to a low and alpine vegetation and further on to a sandy and rocky terrain where we get some spectacular view from the outstanding Pico de Orizaba at one side and to the Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl at the other. Finally we are forced to rock climb a little to reach the summit of this beautiful volcano.
To take into consideration:
To summit La Malinche you must be in a good physical condition and your body acclimatization process must be properly carried out.
Depending on your experience, your acclimatization, your time, etc. we suggest the best program scheldule for you to maximeze your summit options.
Also, if you have doubts about your level of fitness, we can send a personalized training program designed to climb mexican volcanoes so that you don’t suffer from physical exhaustion on summit day.
We operate locally and with full time profesional guides, what means that prices are always lower than in your home country.
