Magic Hidalgo (Basaltic Prisms, Real del Monte, Pachuca)
Overview
We leave for the State of Hidalgo where the majestic Basaltic Prisms are located, one of the natural wonders of Mexico. Which are natural stone columns of 5 or 6 faces formed by the rapid cooling of the lava. During our visit you can walk on an impressive suspension bridge
We will continue to the Magical Town “Real del Monte”, an English-style mining town famous for its traditional pastes, its old mines and the English pantheon.
Once you visit Real del Monte you can not leave without tasting the paste (from the Cornish "pasti" and in English "pasty") is a food of British origin introduced to the cuisine of Hidalgo.
Free time to eat.
We continue to Pachuca, the capital of Hidalgo and known as "La Bella Airosa", so called since during June to October the winds reach 75 km per hour. On our way we will find the imposing Neoclassical style Monumental Clock
