Hidalgo is a state next to Queretaro, of which capital Pachuca is only 3 hours away from the city center of Queretaro. Here are some of our recommendations you can enjoy your weekends.
1. Basaltic Prisms (Prisma basálticos)
Basaltic Prisms is one of the finest geological formations at Santa Maria Regla in Hidalgo state. A combination of 30 metres tall basalt columns lining a ravine and running of water in between from fountains makes it an amazing site.
2. Tula de Allende
Tula de Allende is a town built on what was the southern extension of the ancient city of Tula, centered on a former monastery built by the Spanish in the 16th century. It is best known as the home of the Tula archeological site, noted for its Atlantean figures, especially the warrior figures located on the Quetzalcoatl pyramid.
3. Tolantongo
If you are looking for a place to explore, the Tolantongo caves are another option, an impressive natural scenario where you can bathe in hot springs and spend the night in rustic cabins, rent a tent and sleeping bags. Don’t forget to bring your camera, as you will want to capture the beautiful landscapes.
