You will hike through the mountain range towards the 4,200 m high Pico de Orizaba and enjoy spectacular views, landscapes surrounded by oaks and pines, indigenous communities, typical villages and abandoned haciendas.
The tour goes along the south face of Pico de Orizaba where you will get to know the route to the Gran Telescopio Milimétrico passing through the “high foothills” forest to enter the high mountain tundra.
