The Yacana Difference

From Your First Question to Your Last Step Off the Mountain

"On the drive home, nobody talks much. You're tired. You're proud. And you're already thinking about Orizaba."

You have a question about altitude before your trip. Ricardo answers. The same person who coordinates your entire expedition, briefs your guide, and checks the weather the morning you climb.

When you step out of the truck at the trailhead, Cristino already knows your name. He knows you're coming from sea level. He knows this is your first time above 4,000 meters, that your VO2 is 45, and that you prefer Snickers on the trail. He knows because Ricardo told him.

At 4,800 meters, when the route demands a call, Cristino doesn't hesitate. He's made it a hundred times before. He grew up on these volcanoes.

One conversation. One team. Start to summit.

The People Behind Your Rope

Every Yacana expedition is led by professional, English-speaking local mountaineers.

Cristino

"At 3am on summit day, your wife in Denver can see you moving. That's the difference between her sleeping and not sleeping."
