Perfect CDMX Daytrip into the National Park - This experience was excellent from beginning to end! Travesias was ready for us at the appointed time and we headed into the National Park. Carlos was a phenomenal guide and ensured everybody in the group was good with the decisions we made along the way. He adjusted for some of our hikers and kept the group spirited.
The park itself and trails are excellently maintained and the views were beyond my expectation. The park is a nice combination of wooded, grassy, and open terrain. The trail was good for average hiking fitness as the inclines are gradual and was a good introduction to a hiking at elevation. With the clear, beautiful weather I'm not sure it could have gone any better. Can't speak highly enough of it!
The daypack bag provided was excellent- very good combination of fast sugar snacks and bigger food. Plenty water and an energy drink. Lacked nothing. Based on this experience, I really want to return to the park with this outfit and do their Refuge of 100 hike!
(Photos are not even the best of the day, I will leave those moments for people joining to discover)

Hike to over 13,000ft - Fun day and worth getting up early, got to hike to just over 13,000ft. Would recommend, 2 hr drive each way was worth it . Hike itself was about 4 hours.

A good day out - Great Trek. I went mid week and there were only two of us on the trek and there was hardly anyone else at the national park. Sergio our guide was very good; he made sure we were good with the pace and elevation. We did the 12 km Manantiales trail which was fairly easy with an overall 300m elevation gain.
The trails are well marked and it is walking along volcanic sand paths for the most part. We were also very lucky with the wildlife - we saw one of the volcano rabbits which have small round ears.
We trekked for about 4 hours with a lunch stop of friut and sandwich which is provided. We also stopped for lunch at a roadside stall after the trek also provided.
Be prepared for a slow ride back in traffic (there is no avoiding it)
They will send you a list of recommended clothing to bring - but it largely depends on the weather. I checked the forecast before I booked and didn't need the extra layers - but it will be colder up in the mountains and always be prepared for rain.
I would absolutley recommend the trip - you can get the bus to Amecameca but you then need to get a taxi to the park and it would probably take an hour longer and you get the best views of Popocatepetl in the early morning before it clouds over.

Great hike near volcanos - Fantastic views, beautiful hike! A must do for a hiking enthusiast. Sudden elevation gain makes it a bit difficult but the trail is mostly gentle. Our guide Betto was very good. He paced it for the slowest of the group. The hike included packed light lunch. After hike lunch at the roadside stall was very good. The van they use has no suspension so if you are in the last two rows, you are going to feel every bump on the road. If you are vegetarian, remind them the day before again to pack vegetarian lunch.

We had a great trip! Only... - We had a great trip! Only about 2 hours out of the city, went on about a 4 hour hike and then back. Hike was relatively easy but the altitude made it more difficult for me. Ate a snack at the top and then came down and had a big lunch at a small local spot. They had everything included and everything we needed. Overall we had a great trip and the views were beautiful

Incredible experience - This was an awesome experience. The volcanoes were breathtakingly beautiful, and our guide, Bernardo, took excellent care of us. My girlfriend and I were the slowest in the group, but he made sure we stayed hydrated and well-fed, and ensured that the group maintained a reasonable pace. We were also joined on the hike by a handful of adorable street dogs, and ended the day with some delicious tacos and quesadillas.
As a fairly experienced hiker, I wouldn’t consider the hike itself terribly difficult under normal circumstances, but the altitude definitely made it much more challenging (I believe we reached about 3900m – significantly higher than CDMX even). If you’re not used to high altitudes, I would recommend doing this excursion towards the end of your trip, so you have a few days to acclimate, and would hydrate excessively both during and in the days leading up to your hike.
All in all, an incredible experience and well worth the price. Would highly recommend if you like the outdoors and have an extra day to escape the city.

Great area-be prepared for any weather - Beto was a good guide and gave us route choices and encouragement. We started off in nice weather but unfortunately had a few hailstorms. Track is good but pretty challenging uphills in the beginning.

The hike was enjoyable... - The hike was enjoyable and worth it, even with clouds and limited visibility!
I do wish our guide, Betoh, had been a bit more engaging. I’ve done a lot of tours around the world, and guides are always talkative, educational, and interact more with the group.
Unfortunatelly there was no excitement from our guide in the morning ,much of the long drive was spent in silence, with little information shared about the areas we passed through or the volcanoes once we arrived. It often felt like the group had to initiate conversation and actively ask questions to get information or learn something interesting.
