Prismas Basálticos de Santa María Regla, Hidalgo

This are very interesting basalt rock formations.

The columns were formed by sudden cooling of magma on the surface of the Earth. The very interesting part is that they can be pentagonal, hexagonal or heptagonal prisms.



In this particular place - Santa Maria Regla, near the town of Huasca de Ocampo, state of Hidalgo, México. the columns reach around 30 meters high and their diameter is around 1-1.5 meters, they form a little basin/canyon with waterfalls artificially feed by a man-made water reservoir.

If you are in the area of Pachuca, Hidalgo, it's just about 30 minutes to get to Huasca, a "Pueblo Mágico" and you can visit the old Haciendas of San Miguel Regla and Santa Maria Regla that serves a hotels this days.
