Itinerary description
Iztaccihuatl: Starting at “Paso de Cortes” is a mistake. You need to call and reserve so you can park at “La Joya”. It says it’s a “one way” but it’s a loop. Not a bad walk in the beginning but we had to get a ride on the way back”. DO NOT do this trail in reverse. If you do, you will start and end the trail uphill!! It’s an amazing route! Enjoy!
