You leave Guadalajara before dawn and the city lights slide away, replaced by highland pines and a sharpening chill.

Nevado de Colima is an older, non-erupting dome adjacent to the active Volcán de Colima; guides monitor conditions and trips are run with safety protocols in place.
Nevado de Colima sits on the Jalisco–Colima border and forms a volcanic pair with the younger, active Volcán de Colima; the area has long been used by local communities for seasonal grazing and firewood.
