Mexico offers a colorful, exiting and fun-filled adventure. Far down in south-central Mexico, nearly 1,000 miles below the United States border, rises North America's third, fifth, and seventh highest summits.
While ascents of these peaks do not require great technical skills, they do give you the opportunity to test your response to altitude and learn the elements involved in high altitude climbing trips and expeditions. This is an excellent opportunity to gain skills and expand your experience for future high peaks.
Every mountaineer dreams of exploring faraway villages, photographing oxen and wrinkled-faced old men driving loads of fresh produce to market. You can go beyond dreaming about it! You can do it! Take part in a true foreign mountaineering adventure.
