I went to Malinche , Izta and Orizaba the last 2 weeks for training for the next season and my comentary is "the Mexico volcanoes route is safe". Public transport between Mexico city to Tlachichuca, Puebla, Amecameca, the aproach to the mountains too. Thanks and GOOD CLIMB!!!

The media hype is overblown. Mexico is generally safe as long as you're not involved in the drug trade. Check out my new Potrero Chico web site and blog for more on safety issues:
