Mexicos Volcanoes: Hoch & Team Enjoy Rest in Puebla, Ready for Orizaba

January 24, 2025

Posted by: Joe Hoch, Lacie Smith

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mexico

Elevation: 7,000'

Our time spent in Puebla amongst the dozens of beautifully lit cathedrals, vibrant colonial architecture and calming atmosphere is never enough. But our two nights in the lovely Hotel Colonial and a full day of rest were just enough for the group to refresh from La Malinche and Ixta.

After a laidback day of trinket shopping, napping and sightseeing, our group of newly relaxed climbers met for a dinner of steak and gold plated burgers last night above Puebla’s main square. The stoke was high and there were smiles all around and excitement for our final and largest mountain.

This morning we reloaded the van and set off for Tlachichuca and 18,500’ Pico de Orizaba.

Wish us luck!
