Immerse yourself in the enchanting landscapes of Hidalgo on this day excursion from Mexico City. Be captivated by the remarkable structures of the Basaltic Prisms, soak in the vistas of the Peña del Aire, and delve into the rich mining and culinary history reflected in its Magical Towns.
Real del Monte & Basaltic Prisms Experience
At the predetermined hour, we will gather at the entrance of the Hotel Sheraton María Isabel and depart for our journey towards Hidalgo.
Our first destination will be Mexico's inaugural Pueblo Mágico: Huasca de Ocampo. Here, you will enjoy a brief walk through charming colonial architecture, picturesque cobblestone paths, and visit the Iglesia de Juan el Bautista.
Moving onward, we will arrive at the remarkable Peña del Aire, known for its strategic position amid stunning scenery and diverse ecosystems found within the Barranca de Metztitlán, making it a highlight of the trip.
Next, we will explore the Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla, characterized by their hexagonal formations that soar to heights of up to 98 ft (30 m). This breathtaking site is complemented by four waterfalls that cascade from the San Antonio Dam, creating a truly unforgettable view!
Our journey continues to the Mina Acosta in the charming town of Real del Monte, where we will discuss the workings of the mine and gain insights into the metal extraction process that fueled the area's mining growth.
To conclude our adventure, we will enjoy a tasty paste, a staple of Hidalgo's gastronomy. Together, we will savor this local delicacy!
After a fulfilling exploration, we will make our way back to the original meeting point, where we will bid farewell after an enriching 12-hour experience.
