I got to the area and easily bought a round trip ticket for 70 pesos. This allows 2 hours. I had to wait in line for about 30 for my 3 o'clock ride. Ride is cool. They do have and follow covid precautions too. One house hold per car about 4 or 5 max riders. I got a solo car. I took in the views. About a 5 minute ride. I walked around the mointain top and took pics. The have a few things to see. An Orizaba history museum and a reenactment of how the french fought against mexico. They have a zipline too. It's about 150-200 yards. Cost 100 pesos. Small snack bar area. Two hours is plenty of time.

Was a nice and great place to visit. I went with a group of friends. You can walk around the Paseo de los Artistas o Paseo del Zoologico. At the paseo de los Artistas you can walk near the Orizaba River and you can see a lot of beautiful arts and paintings, and to the other site of the river you can see the paseo del zoologico, and there you can see a lot of beautiful animals. You can have a great time.
