Hidalgo
Hidalgo is rich in culture and tradition from the several indigenous civilizations that inhabited the region before the conquest. The Aztecs were the most prominent group to live here and were the first to extract the minerals found in the land. Today, mining is the most profitable activity in the state.
The state is located in the central part of the country and is surrounded by Tlaxcala, Puebla, Veracruz, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro and the state of Mexico. Hidalgo was founded in 1869 by Benito Juárez and its capital city is Pachuca.
Hidalgo is a beautiful state with many options for recreation, activities and rest. It has many natural attractions in a land of magical towns, customs, extraordinary English architecture, majestic mines, history, tradition, fresh air and a whole world of adventure to discover in this beautiful landscape.
Among the major attractions you will find the Mineral de Chico Park, a beautiful forest with more than 10 square miles of nature with gigantic rocks, a lagoon and a dam. The mines offer guided tours that go more than 400 meters deep in the grottos constructed to search for the precious minerals.
The properties built during the XVI, XVII, XVIII and XIX centuries are another important aspect of Hidalgo. More than four centuries of architecture reflect an invaluable legacy in it cities and streets.
An unmistakably Mexican experience can be found in the “haciendas pulqueras”. To a large extent, this tradition has been lost in Mexico, but it remains here in Hidalgo. Pulque is an alcoholic beverage derived from the natural fermentation of the maguey plant. “Tlachique” is a sweet version with a low alcohol content “Pulque Fuerte” has a higher alcohol content and “Curados” have fruit and fruit syrup (pineapple, strawberry, lemon, orange), seeds (walnut, hazelnut, pine nut) or grains and vegetables (oats, toasted maiz, celery, alfalfa, parsley) added to them.
Spanish traditions are still preserved in Hidalgo. The indigenous communities of the Huasteca have celebrated “Xantolo” (Day of the Dead) for the last 500 years. This ritual, from October 31st through November 2nd, unites the living with the dead. Those that have passed are considered alive, because they live within us.
