Description:
Conquering the volcano Orisaba, the third largest peak on the mainland Central America is not an easy task. The height near the crater is 5600 meters, while the height of the base camp is 4200 meters.
When we leave your hotel, we will cross a third of Mexico, visit interesting places and eventually find ourselves in the mountains. The base camp location is amazing, dead. There is a grave silence here, because we will be at the height of the clouds. Here birds do not sing, animals are rare, incredible views are opened.
After acclimatization at altitudes of 4200 meters, 5000 meters, we will prepare for the ascent. The road to the crater is not easy. To the maze to get about 2-3 hours, melancholy with squats.
In the maze we will put on special equipment and continue our climb. The average time of ascent to the volcano is 8 hours, the descent is 4 hours.
But then what a feeling of exclamation I did it!
