Get to know Pachuca

Pachuca is known as “La Bella Airosa” (“Beautiful Airy City”) for its indomitable winds, although its gusts aren’t something to worry about since it seems that with each blizzard great surprises come to the state of Hidalgo’s capital. Its mining boom, a beautiful monumental clock and even Cristo Rey, who lowered her hands in a vow of alliance to feel the wind, are just one example of this.

 

Its hot climate is a great excuse for travelers who come to its surroundings to immerse themselves in its hot springs, both in its popular geyser and in its many pools in Tolantongo.

 

Pachuca, Hidalgo also has hotels for any requirement: from those looking for a weekend getaway to those who come in family. And how can we forget the museums that pay tribute to images history through the lens at the Museo de la Fotografía o el Salón de la Fama (Museum of Photography or the Hall of Fame), visited mostly by soccer fans.

 

From Mexico City, a 90-minute road trip awaits you (95 km); from Toluca, two hours 15 minutes (155 km), almost the same time from Puebla—two hours and 10 minutes (145 km).
