Mountaineering - International Expeditions

Over the years, True North has placed a number of guides on the summit of Pico de Orizaba.  At 18,700’, it’s the highest peak in Mexico and the third highest peak in North America . With proper acclimation, gear and guidance, reasonably fit individuals can reach this impressive summit.  We can not guarantee your summit, of course, but we can guarantee that we’ll do everything possible to maximize your chance of success, from advice on training and gear to provision of comfortable lodging and appetizing meals to professional and experienced guide services on the mountain.  With the assistance of our Spanish translator and a local guide, True North will show you a part of Mexico most tourists only see from a plane.

We are currently taking reservations for an Orizaba expedition in February of 2007. Our lead guide for this expedition will be John Haight. The expedition will include summit bids on Pico de Orizaba, La Malinche, Ixta and, if time permits, whitewater kayaking/rafting on Rio Pescado. John has over 15 years of experience climbing and mountaineering in the United States, Mexico, and South America . 

Cost $2,155.00US (price does not include airline tickets to or from Mexico City.) Price includes lodging, food, transportation, all guide services, city tours, gratuities and some technical equipment. Call 888-637-6148 for additional details.
