Prismas Basálticos

Allow yourself to be surprised by the natural beauty of the Basaltic Prisms, rock formations carved by water over millions of years, thus achieving a perfect geometric structure. Located just 30 minutes from Pachuca, Hidalgo’s capital, in the town of Santa María Regla, these stone columns are one of the 13 natural wonders of Mexico. Surrounded by forests and lush vegetation, the prisms are perfect to go hiking, or taking trips in hot air balloons and camping, and are a “must visit” landmark in Hidalgo. They are 40 meters high and their flanks are washed by the Azul and San Antonio Regla dams, offering a natural sight that has long impacted local and foreign visitors.

Wander among its rocks, get wet in the waterfall created by spring water, and later, enjoy a picnic in the nearby green areas. There, you will be able to spend a day full of intense adventure with your family, and when the sun goes down, prepare you tent and spend the night in the valley, surrounded by the forest and enjoying the beautiful view.
