Here is the schedule that worked well for us, which included the climb as well as tourist attractions: Day 1 –> Saturday: Fly early in the morning from the US to Mexico City. Take a bus to Puebla (7200 feet) and check in a hotel. Day 2 Tour Puebla; acclimatize; buy supplies, organize gear. Day 3 Climb La Malinche (14,636 feet), drive to Tlachichuca (9000 ft) and check in to the Conchola Limon’s or Sr. Reyes’ house (hostel). Day 4 Spend the day in the hostel at Tlachichuca, organize gear. Day 5 Get to the hut (14,000 ft.) in the morning; hike or rest. Day 6 Summit attempt or hike to 16,000 ft and back to the hut. Day 7 Alternate summit day; return to Tlachichuca-Puebla-Mexico City, good late dinner. Day 8 Visit Teotihuacan pyramids (1-1.5 hour from Mexico City center), Chapultepec Park and Museum of Anthropology (historic Center of Mexico City). Day 9 –> Sunday: Depart early in the morning for the US.
