Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla

I visited this place for the first time, what an amazing place! It’s one of nature’s most remarkable creations. Those natural “cilindres” most of them with 6 sides are just mind blowing. The place has plenty of parking space and great facilities which include snack bars, restaurants, souvenirs shops and public bathrooms. On top of that are the activities for those adrenaline seekers. There’s a hanging bridge over the river and two zip lines which cross the small canyon.

The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla are Mexico’s version of Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway and Iceland’s Svartifoss—but with a hacienda, history, and a side of enchiladas. Once part of a booming silver-mining region, the prisms sit beside the grand Hacienda Santa María Regla, built in the 1700s by a mining baron who clearly liked a good view. Explorer Alexander von Humboldt visited in 1803 and made the spot world-famous. Today, you can actually stay at the old hacienda and sneak out for private access to the backside of the waterfalls—basically your own secret entrance to one of Mexico’s most photogenic hidden gems.

This place has a very similar volcanic formation to that of Devil's Tower. That said, this place is very different in climate, altitude, etc. The formations tend to go down into a small valley. There are lots of walking paths here and you need to be ok with going over a suspension bridge and up and down steps. Doing that will give you a much fuller and richer experience. I highly recommend this place!

Great place. In their efforts to make it comfortable they have added a zip line, lots of restaurants and safe areas for people to make the best out of their visit. It’s such a beautiful place

What a beautiful and magical place. Walked around with family and spectacular views from almost everywhere. Relaxing, peaceful and tranquil!

A lot of walking, but a wonderful place to visit.

What a beautiful place. This is so amazing i have never seen anything like this. Beautiful walk around beautiful everything. Went closer to closing time so that was nice because there was less people. Pictures come out so nice so take many.

Beautiful and extensive place. It's worth a day's visit. Taking a boat ride around the dam is a nice experience. The extreme zip line very safe in that place with double rope harnesses. I hope soon to visit this site again
