Zapotepetl

Reviews

Zapotepetl is hailed as one of the best hiking areas in Mexico, offering a non-technical climb with a 900m ascent from the La Joya Basecamp. Reviewers mention the breathtaking beauty of the hike but caution about the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes, even for those who are well-trained. Visitors recommend being prepared for foggy and windy conditions, emphasizing that it can be very cold even during summer months. The drive up to Zapotepetl is described as narrow and requires caution, while respecting the local flora and fauna is highlighted for conservation purposes. Additionally, visitors rave about witnessing stunning sunrises from this vantage point and experiencing different vegetation zones along the way.
