Pico de Orizaba National Park

Pico de Orizaba National Park boasts Mexico's highest peak at 5,636 meters, the third-highest in North America, rising as a permanently snow-capped volcanic cone accessible via glacier crossing for hundreds of mountaineers each winter. The Jamapa Glacier, though retreating, remains the most accessible permanent ice field in Mexico, offering a 30% longer climbing season than #2's glaciers, with summit success rates averaging 70% among guided parties.
