Hi everyone!
Today we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast in our cabañas here at 10,000’ on the flanks of La Malinche. We went for an acclimatization hike up to 12,600’ to get a good view of the upper mountain, preview our route for tomorrow, and enjoy the beautiful forests of lower Malinche. Everyone in the crew did great and we are psyched for our Malinche summit day tomorrow! We spent the rest of the afternoon lounging in the sunshine and preparing ourselves for tomorrow. We met a bunch of sweet dogs today, laughed lots on the trail and became even more cohesive as a group in our first mountain endeavor. Thanks for following our journey!

Hi everyone!  We made it out of the big city and into the mountains! Before leaving Mexico we went to the National Museum of Anthropology, where we went on a very informative and enjoyable tour with our local guide, Arnoldo. We learned all about the pre-Hispanic peoples who lived in the part of Mexico that we are visiting, and how waves of culture have created the Mexico that we know today.

Bienvenidos a Mexico!
Our team met for the first time in Mexico City, and everyone is very excited to begin our trip on the Mexican Volcanoes! Our crew comes from all over the US, and travels were generally smooth making it down here. We checked our gear and discussed the logistics of the next few days, and we are now prepared to leave the big city and head to the mountains tomorrow. We ate a delicious meal of Cuban-Mexican fusion in our neighborhood of Roma, with lively conversations as we all got to know each other. Spirits are high and we have dispersed to rest well before our adventurous day tomorrow.
Thanks for following our journey!
