Welcome to Tierra Dentro Expeditions:
experienced, committed and responsible mountain guides from Mexico.

You have just landed here  because you are looking for a guide,  want a guided trip to the mountains or simply just looking for information on how to climb Mexico's mountains.  Either way, you have come to the right place, because we are the local guides to the Mexican Volcanoes.

We see ourselves as the local experts because we've been climbing Mexico's mountains for more than 25 YEARS.  We enjoy it so much, that 14 years ago we decided to start sharing our experience with others.

What you will find UNIQUE from our services is that absolutely all of our trips are designed and tailored to suit the abilities, time and budget of each individual and group who decide to try one of our many trips or expeditions.

As you will see, our prices are far more affordable than any other professional company currently guiding the Volcanoes of Mexico.

This is possible only because we don't have to pay plane tickets to get our guides to México.  We don't need to do so because we are Mexican guides who have climbed our Mexican Volcanoes mountains for over 50 times and we have experience guiding mountains abroad that are over 6,000 m. (20,000 feet)

We invite You to Climb Pico de Orizaba, do some Mountaineering in Mexico or enjoy a less demanding High Altitude Trek in Mexico.

Facts about Pico de Orizaba:

Official height 5610 msnm - 18,405 feet (Inegi 2005)
Other common heights given to the mountain are around 5,640 m. - 18,500 feet
Pico de Orizaba is the highest Volcano of North America and the third highest mountain of our continent after McKinley(USA) and Logan(Canada).

The Nahuatl(Aztec) name of Pico de Orizaba is Citlaltepetl and it means "Cerro de la Estrella" - star hill or Hill of the star. Although the Volcano is not directly accessible by the city of Orizaba it is the closest biggest city to the mountain, thus receiving the modern name Peak of Orizaba.

The North face of Pico de Orizaba is climbed through Tlachichuca in the state of Puebla.
The South face of Pico de Orizaba is climbed through Texmalaquillas, Puebla.
Pico de Orizaba is located between the state of Puebla and Veracruz in Mexico.

Note: On guide books and magazine reviews like Lonely Planet it is written that our office is located in Oaxaca.
3 years ago we moved our Head Offices to Tlaxcala - in the heart of the volcanoes - but we still  have a contact Office in Oaxaca, in case you happen to be there.
