The Comarca Minera Geopark is located in the center-south of the Mexican state of Hidalgo. It extends over nine municipalities: Atotonilco el Grande, Epazoyucan, Huasca de Ocampo, Mineral del Chico, Mineral de la Reforma, Mineral del Monte, Omitlán de Juárez, Pachuca de Soto and Singuilucan. These municipalities are articulated by a network of 31 geosites, elected because they express the geological history of the territory and highlight the relationship between mining and metallurgy, and the historical spaces and cultural development of the region. In addition, they are important for science and education and, mostly, have a significant landscape value.
Insider tip — La Gruta hot springs near Teotihuacan occupy a dramatic natural cave grotto just a few kilometers from the ancient pyramid complex, making this the most archaeologically resonant thermal site in Mexico. The cave pool at 38°C maintains a constant twilight temperature year-round, the sulfurous mist filtering through cracks in the volcanic rock ceiling. Combine a morning visit to the Sun and Moon pyramids with an afternoon soak in the cave for an unforgettable day.
