Day 1: Mexico City - Iztaccíhuatl, Mexico

Location: Iztaccihuatl

Accommodation: Camp

Duration: 2 Days

Departure Time: 10:00

Arrival at the Campsite, acclimatization walk, and welcome gathering
The experience begins on a Saturday around 9:30 am in Mexico City, where we will meet to check your equipment, carry the bags to the vehicles and eat breakfast, where you will have the opportunity to begin to integrate with the rest of the team that will make up your excursion to the mountain. Later we will leave for the Izta-Popo National Park, we will make a technical stop in Paso de Cortés, where we will pay the access to the park and fill out the access register properly.
Later we will go to "La Joya", the last point that we will arrive by vehicle. In La Joya we will set up camp, we will eat, we will have a small gathering, but above all, we will use the day to give you technical talks, check your equipment, as well as we will take an acclimatization walk, always accompanied by our team of guides and staff who are always in the willingness to give their best effort for your experience.
Finally, we will go to sleep around 6:00 pm, to get up at 12:00 am to carry out this experience like no other in Mexico and the world!

Day 2: Iztaccíhuatl - Mexico City, Mexico

Location: Mexico City

Climb the Iztaccíhuatl and transfer back to Mexico City

The adventure begins at midnight, where we will prepare for the ascent. You will walk through its three gates, to arrive shortly before dawn at the 5k refuge where we will take a breath to continue climbing the knee of this magical woman, the section of the route with the greatest physical and mental demand. Once you reach the top of the knee, you will live the incredible experience of walking through its glaciers and using, perhaps for the first time, crampons and ice axes (a mountaineer's basic tool), after crossing the glacier and the navel ridges, we will arrive at 5250 mamsl, where the summit of this mountain is located.
Get ready to start your journey back home at around 17:00 Hrs.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
