Itinerary
Join us at Real del Monte Hidalgo! A town brimming with natural beauty, rich history, and fascinating traditions. Your adventure begins with a visit to the Prismas Basálticos, a breathtaking natural wonder where towering basalt columns and cascading waterfalls create a magical landscape. Upon arrival, you’ll hop on a guided walking tour, crossing a scenic hanging bridge and taking in panoramic views of the columns and waterfalls. The unique geological formations and the lush surroundings make this a highlight of your day.
Next, we’ll dive into the rich folklore of the region with a visit to a museum dedicated to regional myths and mystical tales. Here, you’ll hear stories of duendes (elves) and other magical beings that have been a part of local culture for centuries. These legends offer a glimpse into the spiritual and imaginative world of the people who have called this area home for generations.
As we continue, we’ll visit a mining museum, where you’ll learn about the historical significance of mining in the area. Discover how silver and mining have shaped the town and its people. For a truly unique experience, you’ll have the opportunity to descend into an old mine, walking through the same tunnels that once housed miners searching for precious metals. It’s a step back in time that will give you a deeper appreciation for the area’s rich industrial past.
After exploring the mines, we’ll transfer to Real del Monte, a picturesque town known for its English heritage. Stroll through the historic center, where you’ll find cobblestone streets, colonial buildings, and charming architecture that reflect the town’s mining history. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about how English miners contributed to the town’s growth.
Our final stop will be at a pastry museum, where you’ll learn about the Cornish pastes brought over by English miners. These savory treats have become a beloved local specialty, and you’ll even have the chance to make your Cornish pastes, connecting with a piece of the town’s culinary history.
As the tour comes to an end, relax in the vehicle on the journey back to Mexico City, reflecting on a day filled with nature, history, and unique experiences that will stay with you for years to come.
