"In essence, the trip was great. A good combination of interesting peaks and cultural excursions within a short space of time. Garrett and Ben were great mountain guides, and Arnold added another dimension to the trip in the museums. As ever with an AAI trip, it was highly professional and client-centric and successful."

Recent Expedition Success
Since 1993, we have run over 25 successful expeditions in Mexico and consistently receive fantastic evaluations from all climbers. We encourage you to contact last year’s climbers and review the guide’s bios. During the last few years, nearby Popo has been erupting but as of yet, has not affected our expedition logistics.
In 2010 we offered 3 expeditions, each with great summit success, 90% overall.
Guides
We send an Alpine Ascents guide on every trip. We are blessed to have outstanding guides such as Ben Jones, along with local guides top local guides who consistently make the expedition enjoyable, enriching and extremely educational. Our team of world renowned guides are full-time climbers. Many of them have historical climbing achievements synonymous with their names. They are a part of Alpine Ascents because they understand and share our climbing principles. These individuals are dedicated to sharing their excellence with others. We encourage you to compare our guide team on a particular mountain with any in the industry.
Gradual Acclimatization
We offer a 10 day itinerary and have back up plans should some of the mountains pose difficult conditions. See our Itinerary for more details.
Experience
We have been guiding in Mexico for for the past 20 years and have built close relationships in the communities where we guide and tour. We consistently run multiple expeditions every year. Our familiarity with the region, combined with our expertise and knowledge of mountain climbing, lend a depth and richness to every expedition that we feel is unrivaled in the guiding community.
As always we highly encourage you to contact former climbers.
