Mexico's highest mountain and North America's tallest volcano at 5,636 meters, a glaciated cone that dominates the horizon between Puebla and the Gulf coast. Acclimatized climbers tackle the Jamapa Glacier route from mountain huts, while the surrounding national park offers high-altitude hiking through pine and tussock grassland.
