Team Arrives in Mexico City!
Hola from wild and wonderful Mexico City! Our team has assembled here as it’s the first day of our expedition. Everyone (and everyone’s luggage) arrived here safely and the excitement is high for our trip ahead. We began with a thorough gear check to make sure everyone is prepared with the equipment that they’ll need for the mountains and we discussed our logistics for the next few days. Afterwards we celebrated our arrival with a dinner together that was muy delicioso! Chicken mole was a crowd pleaser, as were the giant bowls of guacamole. We toasted to our arrival as a group and for the days ahead. Now everyone is off to bed in anticipation of our busy day tomorrow. Thanks for tuning in!
Team Fantasma back in Mexico City
Hey Everyone,
This is team Fantasma. The group made it back safely to Mexico City enjoyed a final dinner together. The team has split, some are sticking around Mexico and some depart the country today. Thank you for following along on our trip. We stood on summits, experienced culture and best of all made great friendships!

Team Fantasma Arrives at Pico De Orizaba Base camp
Hey everyone this is Connor with Team Fantasma, calling to give you an update. We jumped in some 4 x 4 jeeps and travels for about a hour and a half on a dirt road up to our base camp for Pico De Orizaba. We’re now tucking in for midnight start! Today we hung out in our dining tents and play dice and enjoyed each other’s company. We went for a little hike and it started hailing and raining which was interesting little bit of thunderstorms but weather looks clear for the morning so cross our fingers and thanks for staying tuned.
Team Fantasma heads toward Pico De Orizaba
Hey everyone this is Connor with Team Fantasma. The team is all tucked into bed for tonight and we’re near the base of our next objective Pico De Orizaba. We had a great day today went and visited the Museum of architecture in Puebla and then loaded up our vans with all our gear, drove out to this lodge, picked up some more supplies and now we’re staying in the lodge tonight. Tomorrow morning we’re getting up early jumping in a 4 x 4 Jeep and driving to the base of our mountain. So we’ll keep you updated on how that goes thanks for following along!
Let me say you are by far the best guide service I have ever used. I could not give Alpine Ascents and the guides anything but the highest ratings. I look forward to using your service in the future with a possible Ecuador trip or maybe Aconcagua. Thanks for a job well done.
