Introduction
Unravel the magic of Pachuca, the Beautiful Windy City, over a thrilling three-day adventure. This itinerary takes you through the city's ancient history, enchanting gastronomy, and entrancing culture packed into every street corner.
Day 1 - Unveiling the Charm of Pachuca
Our journey begins in the heart of Pachuca - the Monumental Clock. Standing majestically in the plaza, the clock, built by the same craftsman who designed Big Ben, will take your breath away. After that, we'll take a stroll down Pachuca's famous Street of Silver, the perfect place to snap some truly Instagram-worthy pictures. Take a detour for a quick bite – have you considered trying the local delicacy, pastes? They're similar to Cornish pasties and an absolute must-try! For the afternoon, strap on your walking shoes because we're off exploring the mesmerizing Prismas Basalticos. With water plunging 100 feet through volcanic rock formations, it's like a scene straight out of a nature documentary. We'll end the day perched atop the beautiful Pachuca Dam, enjoying a mesmerizing sunset, painting the sky with hues of pinks and oranges. Doesn't that sound like an amazing first day?
Day 2 - The Silver Lining of Pachuca
We're starting off Day 2 exploring the history of Pachuca's mining industry at the Mina de Acosta. Walk through the passages, feeling the cool damp air, while you imagine the echoes of the miners' pickaxes. Later, step into the heart of the city's culture scene at the David Ben Gurion Park. It's named after Israel's first prime minister, giving you a taste of the city's diverse cultural influences. Next, we're off to the Hidalgo Market, it's the perfect place to experience the bustling local lifestyle. Have you tried tacos placeros? They are a hearty treat served only in local markets like these. Take your taste buds on an adventure, after all, what’s a trip without tasting the local cuisine? We will end our day with a guided tour of the Football Hall of Fame, discovering the legacy of Mexico's passion for soccer. Don't forget to snap a selfie with your favorite player's statue!
Day 3 - Basking in the Beauty of the Windy City
Our last day starts with a visit to the incredible Museum of Photography. Get a glimpse of the past through the evocative local and international exhibits. After that, brace yourself for some artisanal retail therapy at the Zona Plateada (Silver Zone), offering Mexico’s finest crafts and textiles. Your allocated luggage size might pose a tough challenge here! What next? How about some treat to your taste buds. We're heading to a local family-owned enchilada restaurant for lunch. Once you've had a taste, you'll understand why we saved this Enchilada Festival for last. We'll call it a day (and a trip!) at the serene Cuartel del Arte, marveling at the local artistic talents. As we walk through its galleries, it provides a tranquil end to our full-bodied Pachuca adventure. It's truly a beautiful way to say 'adios' to this colorful city, don't you think?
