Zimapan: A Typical Colonial Mining Town of Hidalgo
Located 1780 meters above sea level, the mining town of Zimapán has a mild climate, a rich history, and unexpectedly beautiful locations that belie its humble beginnings as a colonial outpost.
The architecture of some of the mines, such as La Plata, one of the first to which the mining development of the place over centuries is due, and which can be visited to tour many tunnels and the atmosphere of mineral exploitation, reflects the reminiscence of the colonial past of Zimapán, in the state of Hidalgo.
The parish church of San Juan Bautista from the XVIII century, some old mansions, the beautiful and quiet square, some hotels with green areas, and small gardens; another with the largest juniper tree in the world whose base measures 12.80 meters; and the majestic Sierra Gorda within reach of its visitors make Zimapán a tourist attraction.
