Private Tour to Magical Towns

Your day begins in the magical town of Real del Monte, a historic mining village nestled high in the mountains. Wander through its cobblestone streets and colorful houses, discovering the unique Anglo-Mexican heritage that defines this town. You’ll have around four hours of free time to explore, shop for local crafts, and sample some of the region’s culinary specialties — such as the famous “pastes” (a Cornish-inspired pastry), pulque, heavy cream bread, and tamales, all at your own pace.

Next, visit the intriguing English Cemetery, one of the most symbolic places in Real del Monte. Every tomb is carefully oriented toward England, a silent tribute to the British miners who settled here in the 19th century. As your guide shares the fascinating stories of this community, you’ll gain insight into how their traditions helped shape the area’s identity. After some free time for shopping and lunch, the journey continues to Huasca de Ocampo, Mexico’s first Pueblo Mágico. Here, you’ll visit one of its most breathtaking natural wonders — the Basaltic Prisms. Standing 30 meters tall, these geometric basalt columns line the walls of the dramatic Santa María Regla Canyon, carved by volcanic activity and bathed by four cascading waterfalls that feed the San Antonio Regla Dam.

Nearby, explore the Hacienda San Miguel Regla, an elegant 18th-century estate that once belonged to Pedro Romero de Terreros, Count of Regla. This was his favorite residence, and today you can still admire the preserved remains of the main building, its graceful stone arches, and the ovens once used for silver extraction — a testament to the region’s rich mining past. As the afternoon draws to a close, sit back and relax on your private return trip to Mexico City, enjoying the scenic landscapes of Hidalgo along the way.

This private tour option is perfect for travelers seeking a blend of culture, history, gastronomy, and nature, all with the comfort and flexibility of a personalized experience. Discover the charm and legacy of Real del Monte and Huasca de Ocampo — two of Mexico’s most enchanting Magic Towns.
