Magical Towns of Hidalgo, Prism, Real del Monte, and Pachuca
Depart for Hidalgo State to see the majestic Basaltic Prisms, one of Mexico's natural wonders. These unique stone columns, formed by volcanic lava, are found in only three places worldwide. Walk across a suspension bridge for breathtaking views of the prisms and the waterfall cascading over them. Next, visit Real del Monte, a "Magical Town" renowned for its preserved English-style architecture, a legacy of its mining history.
In Real del Monte, don't miss the chance to try Pastes, a traditional pastry filled with various stews. The name comes from the English word "pasty," introduced to Hidalgo's cuisine during the mining era, and has since become a beloved dish. Enjoy free time for lunch or shopping before heading back. On the way, you'll pass through Pachuca, famously known as "La Bella Airosa" (The Beautiful Windy City) for its strong winds, reaching speeds up to 46 mph from June to October!
