Mexicos Volcanoes: Hoch & Team Reach Summit of La Malinche, Moving to Ixtaccihuatl
Leaving Mexico City, team Mexican Koala - our girl Bec flew all the way from Australia - was excited to tackle our first volcano, Malinche at 14,501.
Our van ride went smoothly and before we knew it we were enjoying the crowd-favorite bbq meat towers at the Malinche cabins restaurant. Our weather was cold but clear, and folks went to bed ready for an early-ish morning.
Alarms went off at 4:30am, and unfortunately Bec’s long trip from Australia had her under the weather. But the rest of them team rallied for her and left the cabins in the dark. At around 13,500’ we walked into a moody mist cloud, and with our army of mountain-dogs, around 11am, we climbed onto the summit just in time for a sun break! 100% for those who left the cabins!
More meat towers yesterday evening and a good night’s sleep and we’re off to Ixta!

Good work team.
Bec stayed off the heavy food stuff and hope the acclimatization kicked in.
