미네랄 델 치코 국립공원
Leave the semi-desert behind and enter the lush realm of one of Mexico’s oldest nature reserves, which has ancient conifers, a cool climate and magnificent vistas.

Nestled in the highlands above the historic mining city of Pachuca, El Chico National Park (El Parque Nacional el Chico) is a sprawling forest and mountain reserve that is part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.

Trek among the emerald sea of conifers, see rivers and waterfalls, climb up to panoramic overlooks on steep cliffs, camp out under the stars and look for endemic Mexican wildlife. Rocky spires, bluffs and craggy peaks make up the Sierra Pachuca, a great destination for rock climbers and abseilers.

Join a guided tour from Pachuca or Mineral del Chico or pick up a good map and rent a vehicle and camping gear to explore on your own. Start at the Visitor Center, which has an exhibit space with audiovisual presentations and cafeteria. Learn how El Chico National Park is one of the oldest reserves in Mexico.

El Cedral, a basin of the Pánuco River, is ideal for fishing and camping. See the waterfalls of the Río el Milagro (Miracle River) and look up to spot eagles and falcons soaring high above the tree tops. Coyotes, deer, raccoons and armadillos also roam the park.

Drive to the lookout point on Peña del Cuervo, which rises 246 feet (75 meters) above the valley floor. From the car park, hike the short distance to the top of the cliff for panoramic views.

On your way out, you can spot another outstanding natural feature, Las Ventanas (The Windows). The three peaks of this rocky crag soar some 10,000 feet (almost 3,000 meters) above sea level and can only be climbed with permission.

Nearby, browse the cobblestoned streets of Mineral del Chico, with its colorful houses. Visit on Easter Sunday for the Rain of Flowers ceremony in the Church of Immaculate Conception. On December 8, “El Chico” celebrates La Fiesta de la Purisima Concepción, with processions, dance shows and fireworks.

El Chico National Park is 14 miles (23 kilometers) outside of Pachuca, a 3-hour drive northeast of Mexico City. Bring all-weather gear and adjust to the altitude first.
