How about everyone!
Today I'm going to tell the heart of the empire mining Huasca de Ocampo in the State of Hidalgo, a scene of contrasts, nature, eaves of houses with red tile, cobblestone, cobblestone streets, old colonial houses mostly adobe gabled roofs.
Huasca is a magical town surrounded by beautiful pine forests, deep ravines, old gold and silver mines, farms and former famous hot springs. Huasca is part of the mountain tourist corridor that includes several high and forest populations.
The correct name of the municipality is Huascazaloya and apocope is Huasca which means "place of amusement in Nahuatl dialect." Take Ocampo's name by the famous political Melchor Ocampo who lived sometime in Huasca.

Some historical data:
In the sixteenth century, Diego de la Paz was commissioned by Spain to dominate certain areas like the Great Atotonilco, Acatlán and Huascazaloya, so that in the seventeenth century these areas were used for agricultural production. In the next century there was a great boom to the mining of the region that saw the construction of farms Huasca benefit, the author of these constructs was Romero de Terreros, a trader become a miner, who later received the same the title of Count of Regla by the English Crown.
Around 1760, the estates were built Rule "Santa Maria", "San Miguel", "San Francisco Javier" and "San Antonio". Thanks to these farms for profit, was developed in the region providing employment to hundreds of people who worked from construction to operation thereof. With the death of the Count of Regla in 1781, began the decline of all his empire because of mismanagement.

By 1810 the mines of Pachuca and Real del Monte reduced their production as well as farms and were showed deterioration in ruins. There were fights for possession of land and migration; But over the years all the problems Huasca minimized and began offering different opportunities, including tourism.
Huasca was assigned the first Pueblo Magico in Mexico by the Tourism Secretary in 2001.
And speaking of what you can not miss on your next visit to Huasca, here I speak of the different points that you should not miss.

And today I tell the stories of "Attalus" a guy who every morning riding a horse, after combing the mane and tail of his steed, but the hair every morning was indeed very difficult to undo braids; braids were double and triple in two or three slice, very laborious, it was a problem unwinding. There was some uncertainty as to who to that evil, but did not think Attalus workers farm did much less other beings.
One night a girl named Olga, saw the goblins with a mare neighing and not left untouched by them and was very surly. The next day dawned with a deep mare cut as if he had hurt with a stick.
Another time another girl named Isabel evening also saw other elves pulling and riding another horse. These testimonies
young Attalus sure who is responsible for disturbing your horse are the same elves.
These and other stories like the left wrist without hair, you hear or read in this interesting and fun place. Basaltic Prisms
No miss this freak of nature, the most impressive of the state of Hidalgo in my opinion. If you have not seen, did not escape the wonder and fascination of these formations in the form of prisms that together form a wall frame a cliff 70 meters high.
prisms are called igneous rocks by the similarity they have with geometric figures. They even columns of red and ocher tones of different sizes stacked like soldiers, are volcanic rocks that were formed thousands of years and his explanation was due to a basaltic lava flow that cooled when contracted uniformly causing fractures to shaping high number of hexagonal columns and a perfect square each.
All these posts are a natural fortress which is bathed in 4 waterfalls up to 30 meters high, the water washes the prisms making a spectacle of rainbow with the help of sunlight.
Glen of basaltic prisms can be seen from above, a suspension bridge from the former Hacienda Santa Maria Regla. If you want to have fun playing them and you can take your swimsuit. is important to note that this type of prisms are unique in our country and we are the lucky ones to have them because there are only three in the world, some of them are in Ireland and named after "The passage of Giant "and the others are in Hawaii and you see them dive and found in the deep sea. Third parties are Huasca and should not travel far to meet them.
When the male traveler Alexander von Humboldt in 1803 visited Huasca was impressed by these formations and immortalized in one of his writings and drawings in pencil along with other wonders of America, currently these writings are in the British Museum . To visit the prisms must pay an entrance fee, you can spend a day in the country, there are picnic areas, playgrounds, sports courts, pool, horse rental and other services. Forest
San Miguel Regla This wonderful and natural place was formerly called the Forest of trout and is now an ecotourism park of 20 hectares of lush greenery, fountains, paths, if you love nature this will be your favorite.
also has a gastronomic and handicraft center with 21 restaurants, 4 soda fountains, 6 gift shops, swimming, camping, horse rental, lake where you can take a boat ride or catch a trout to take to any restaurant for the cook as you want, plus there is a farm where the fish meet the care and dedication to raise rainbow trout quality
Canyon Air Peña To end this tour I recommend you visit also visit the canyon in the middle of a desert environment. Peña called the Air by a stone located above a cliff that seems suspended in the air, if you like the photo here you will find beautiful scenery pictures ensure serenity and peace, this place is 40 minutes
Huasca Well you know that Huasca has many options for a great vacation, and for those who like alternative tourism are several activities ranging from sport fishing, zip lines, rappel, gotcha, four-and ballooning, activities for residents and in the same hotels you can advise. Bon Voyage!
