Iztaccihuatl, located in Mexico, stands as a majestic and challenging climb for any seasoned mountaineer. Rising to an impressive height of 5,230 meters, this dormant volcanic mountain offers a unique experience with its distinct silhouette resembling a sleeping woman. The ascent is characterized by a mix of rocky terrain and glacier travel, requiring a good level of technical skill and acclimatization. The most popular route is the Arista del Sol, which provides breathtaking views and a demanding climb through varied conditions. Weather can be unpredictable, so proper preparation for cold temperatures and potential snowfall is crucial.

The approach to Iztaccihuatl typically begins from the La Joya trailhead, which sits at around 3,900 meters. From there, the route gradually ascends, offering a mix of scrambling and glacier navigation. The high altitude of the mountain demands respect, as altitude sickness can be a concern for those not adequately acclimatized. Crampons and ice axes are essential gear for the glacier sections, particularly during the colder months when ice formation is more pronounced. The final push to the summit involves negotiating a series of ridges and crests, with the potential for exposure adding to the thrill.

Climbing Iztaccihuatl is a rewarding experience, offering both the challenge of high-altitude mountaineering and the opportunity to witness stunning panoramas of the surrounding Mexican landscape. The mountain's location provides a sense of remoteness and solitude, perfect for those seeking a break from the more crowded peaks. While the climb is demanding, it is accessible with the right preparation and respect for the mountain's conditions. For those interested in guided expeditions, there are currently 6 guides offering their services to help you safely navigate the climb.

Wir haben eine wunderbare Rundreise von 11 Tagen erlebt, zum Glück konnten wir diese sehr kurzfristig und nach individuellen Vorstellungen buchen. Wir flogen von Cancun nach Oaxaca, verbrachten dort 4 Tage, besichtigten Mitla, Tule, Monte Alban. Busfahrt nach San Cristobal de las Casas (über Nacht, war auch alles machbar) Highlight dieser Reise war Palenque, wobei man sich nicht entscheiden kann, ob der Regenwald oder die Ruinen einen mehr faszinieren!Traumhaft schön, die Wasserfälle Roberto Barrio!! Alles verlief völlig unkompliziert und wir konnten bei Fragen stets Rücksprache halten! Der Kontakt war super nett und professionell!! Unser Fahrer und der Guide unwahrscheinlich herzlich. Wir werden noch lange in Erinnerungen schwelgen!Vielen lieben Dank an Nicole Tessmann und das Team!
Hasta luego,  Jan und Andrea

We had a wonderful round trip of 11 days, luckily we were able to book it at very short notice and according to our individual wishes. We flew from Cancun to Oaxaca, spent 4 days there, visited Mitla, Tule, Monte Alban. Bus trip to San Cristobal de las Casas (overnight, everything was possible) The highlight of this trip was Palenque, although you can't decide whether the rainforest or the ruins fascinate you more! Fantastically beautiful, the Roberto Barrio waterfalls!! Everything was completely uncomplicated and we were always able to contact us if we had any questions! The contact was super nice and professional!! Our driver and guide were incredibly welcoming. We will reminisce for a long time! Many thanks to Nicole Tessmann and the team!

We were extremely happy with the itinerary Fernanda and Ivana, from the Buenos Dias team put together for us around the Yucatan peninsula. A great mix of adventure, culture and natural beauty and with hotels that were perfect for us. The service and kind care was excellent from start to finish. Many thanks to them for a wonderful holiday

Fer, Ivana and team were very meticulous in planning the trip for us. All the details were well executed and our expectations were met with utmost care. Also, Fer was reachable any time during the trip to help as needed. Mexico trip was a wonderful experience for us and we are thankful to Fer, Ivana and team for making it happen.

Antonia planned our onward journey from Mexico City to Puebla and Oaxaca. We traveled by bus, transport and hotels were well chosen, excursions and cooking classes were supervised by very nice people, great advice on what you can and should do and what it's better to leave out. The budget can also be discussed openly and flexibly. Antonia was also available to give advice and support during the trip and was always available. Highly recommended for arriving in the country and immersing yourself in the Mexican feeling!

Antonia von Buenos Dias Mexico hat uns eine tolle 6tägige Yukatan-Rundreise mit Guide und Hotels organisiert.
Alles ist BESTENS gelaufen...wir hatten unvergessliche Tage und empfehlen diese Agentur sehr gerne weiter.

Antonia from Buenos Dias Mexico organized a great 6-day Yucatan tour with a guide and hotels for us.
Everything went perfectly...we had unforgettable days and would be happy to recommend this agency.

Im Rahmen unseres ersten Mexikobesuchs haben wir über dieses Reisebüro eine private Rundreise gebucht. Eine gelungene Mischung aus kolonial geprägten Städten (San Miguel de Allende, Queretaro, Puebla, Oaxaca), sehenswerten Ausgrabungsstätten und eindrucksvollen Naturerlebnissen. Die Kulinarik war höchst genussreich. Die Rundreise wurde bestens zusammengestellt, die Kommunikation mit vor und während der Reise zeitnah und kompetent. Die gemeinsam ausgewählten Hotels haben uns allesamt überzeugt. Der Fahrerguide hat uns sehr umsichtig begleitet und uns Land und Leute und vor allem die reiche Geschichte sehr sachkundig und „wohldosiert“ nahegebracht.
Mexiko hat uns so sehr fasziniert, dass wir das Land im kommenden Jahr wieder bereisen wollen. Gerne buchen wir wieder über Buenas Dias Mexico…  Besten Dank vor allem auch die engagierte Mitarbeiterin der Agentur, Antonia!

As part of our first visit to Mexico, we booked a private tour through this travel agency. A successful mix of colonial-style cities (San Miguel de Allende, Queretaro, Puebla, Oaxaca), interesting archaeological sites and impressive natural experiences. The cuisine was extremely enjoyable. The tour was well put together and communication before and during the trip was prompt and competent. We were all impressed by the hotels we selected together. The driver guide accompanied us very carefully and introduced us to the country, its people and, above all, its rich history in a very knowledgeable and “well-measured” manner.
Mexico fascinated us so much that we want to travel to the country again next year. We would be happy to book again through Buenas Dias Mexico... Many thanks especially to the agency's dedicated employee, Antonia!

Alles top organisiert. Ein wundervoller Urlaub. Auf unsere individuellen wünsche wurde eingegangen und auch während dem Urlaub war immer jemand erreichbar. Total zu empfehlen!!!

Everything was well organized. A wonderful vacation. Our individual wishes were taken into account and someone was always available even during the holiday. Totally recommended!!!

Booked a trip to Mexico - 4 days in Mexico City and 4 days in Merida.
Fernanda was very helpful in mapping out the perfect itinerary with time to fit in all the sites that we wanted like Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, Chichen Itza, cenotes, Teotihuacan and so on.
Throughout the trip, she was quick to respond  & resolve whenever there were miscommunications in the plan.
The trip was quite smooth and we had a great time.
Would love to go back to visit other parts of Mexico.

Toller Service, sehr fachkundig! Wir sind gleich zwei Mal mit Buenos Dias Mexiko 2023 und 2024 verreist. Die Auswahl der Unterkünfte war sehr gut, die Reiseroute hoch interessant und wir haben einiges jenseits der üblichen Pfade entdeckt! Esther hat uns bestens betreut und auch noch klasse Tipps für den weiteren Aufenthalt gegeben! Wirklich empfehlenswert!

Great service, very knowledgeable! We traveled twice with Buenos Dias Mexico in 2023 and 2024. The choice of accommodation was very good, the itinerary was very interesting and we discovered a lot off the beaten path! Esther looked after us very well and also gave us great tips for the rest of our stay! Really recommended!

Private Rundreise Mexico City, Chihuahua, Creel, Chepe Express, Copper Canyon, El Fuerte, Topolapompo, Solar Eclipse in Mazatlan und San Poncho

Eine von Ivana toll geplante Reise mit vielen absoluten Highlights wie zum Beispiel dem streicheln des freilebenden Delfins “El Pechocho” im Meer vor Los Mochis, der Sonnenfinsternis in Mazatlan, wohnen im Haus von “El Zorro” und vielem mehr. Alles ist wie geplant verlaufen, tolle Hotels prima Lage, nette zuverlässige Fahrer und Guides. Wenn es mal eine Nachfrage gab, war Ivana immer per Notfalltelefon oder Whatsapp erreichbar.
Wir haben Mexico als absolut sicheres und vor allem sehr sauberes Reiseland erlebt. Die Polizei ist überall vor Ort, ist für Fragen immer ansprechbar und hilft beim suchen nach Wegen und Zielen gerne weiter. Die freundlichen und fröhlichen Einwohner machen einem es leicht sich in dem Land richtig wohl zu fühlen.
Ein kleiner Tipp für Reisende: Unbedingt eine Telefon SIM Karte vor Ort kaufen das ist auf jeden Fall nötig um sich zu orientieren und ggf. zu telefonieren. 4 Wochen mit 5 GB Daten von Telcel sind für ca. 14€ erhältlich.
Wir sagen Buenos Dias Mexico und vor allem Ivana vielen lieben Dank für alles und wir werden uns sicher wieder für eine weitere Reise in dieses tolle Land bei Euch melden.

Volker and Doris from Germany
A trip well planned by Ivana with many absolute highlights such as petting the free-living dolphin “El Pechocho” in the sea in front of Los Mochis, the solar eclipse in Mazatlan, staying in “El Zorro’s” house and much more. Everything went as planned, great hotels, great location, nice, reliable drivers and guides. If there was a need, Ivana was always available via emergency telephone or Whatsapp.
We experienced Mexico as an absolutely safe and, above all, very clean travel destination. The police are on site everywhere, are always available to answer questions and are happy to help you find routes and destinations. The friendly and cheerful residents make it easy to feel at home in the country.
A little tip for travelers: Be sure to buy a telephone SIM card on site - this is definitely necessary in order to orientate yourself and, if necessary, make calls. 4 weeks of 5GB data from Telcel are available for around €14.
We say thank you very much to Buenos Dias Mexico and especially Ivana for everything and we will definitely contact you again for another trip to this great country.
