This place is incredible! A hidden gem. The tour takes about 3hrs a to complete but it is an incredible experience and it’s worth it. We took the tour on Monday 11/19 and the weather was perfect. It was cool and cloudy. I would recommend taking this tour during this time because I can only imagine how hot it might be during the summer.

I really liked this place. Very quiet, very pretty, the guest center is attractive, well maintained and has bathrooms. I'm talking about the visitors center @ Museo y Centro de Visitantes Schuk Toak. The little walking path is awesome and you can get lots of really beautiful pictures here. I fixed google maps so the visitor center is in the right location, and the size of the park is right now too. Off of Highway 8.

A nice 3 hour drive throuth the desert. The road is a bit bumpy, but nothing our little car couldn't handle.

Hiked the craters of El Colorado and El Elegante and saw the interactive museum. Very impressive.. 1 of 13 natural wonders Mexico holds.. Bring sunscreen and cold water!!

The Golden Eagle appears to be a semi tame holster greeter to the park. Its sitting on the arm of a guest all within 5 minutes of arriving. Unfortunately the park was closed I think to maintain roads. If open it would get 5 stars.

Great views, of very important nature and cultural significance. Bring sunscreen and water, you'll need it.

Awesome views! Spectacular! English brochures may be available, just ask when purchasing your tickets. Front wheel drive at least - recommended. Great drive with a handful of pullouts and smaller locations to walk/hike built into the tour. Be sure to keep tabs on your children as you can walk around and up to the edges of inactive volcanos. The placards/billboards are written in both Spanish and English. Greatly appreciated that, made the experience more informative!!!
