While the first recorded ascent was made in 1889, archaeological evidence suggests that the Aztecs and previous cultures also climbed this great mountain.
In Aztec mythology, Iztaccíhuatl was a princess who fell in love with Popocatépetl, one of her father's warriors. The king sent Popocatépetl to war in Oaxaca, promising him Iztaccíhuatl as his wife when he would return.
Iztaccíhuatl was falsely told Popocatépetl had died in battle, and believing the news, she died of grief. When Popocatépetl returned to find his love dead, he kneeled by her grave. The gods covered them with snow and changed them into mountains. Iztaccíhuatl's mountain is called "White Woman" because it resembles a woman sleeping on her back, and is often covered with snow. This is the lowest peak containing permanent snow and glaciers in Mexico.
The volcano tour is a trekking day on the least difficult side of the volcano. Our exact route will be decided on the day - but you are sure to experience the power of this ancient place. |
