My first adventure in Via Ferrata. It's wonderful and costs only 800 MXN pesos per person. It takes nearly 4 hours to complete the entire climb and to return. Though they have other small adventure activities, I recommend this. The mountain that you climb is called Peña de la Tanda. You can also reach this mountain via normal route by trekking but you must contact localites who can take you.
Also, you have another peak taller than the above called Peña de la Monjas and there localites who will take you to the peak with a trekking but cost you very very less (250 MXN). This is almost 6 hours activity.
Other adventure activity which is located at the base of the mountain might be for family members who don't want to climb the mountain.
Also they have trekking in the river for 1 full day or half a day. Basically if you know the route you can do the trek by yourself. We are not happy with the services given by them during the trekking or entire trek itself.
Overall I recommend this H-GO adventures only via Ferrata.

The views from different vantage points of Las Prismas and the surrounding valley and mountainside are stunning. The views of the rock formations and water falls were amazing.
The North side of the walkway allows different angles of the formations in conjunction with views of the Waterfalls and surrounding areas. The south side has impressive views of the water falls also, but for picture purposes with fewer people, the north side seems to have better picture opportunities.
There are zip lines for those interested and simply a breath-taking experience.

The Acosta Mine starts working in 1727 and keeps its productivity until 1985. Nowadays it has became in an important Museum where you can know about its History and relevant acpects about mining. The Site guards historic architectural remains, testimony of its Historical stages: Colony, english immigration and investment in the region, starting with the Age of Steam and the advent of electricity with the Northamerican investors. You will also visit the inside of a tunnel where you'll be able to see a Silver vein after a historical tour about mining work.

Good little tour underground and talk (in Spanish) of working conditions in this silver mine that closed only as recently as 2005. A good introduction in mining in the Real de Monte area and if its a tad cold in the mine, the cornish pastie...MoreWe appreciate your comments, thank you for your visit!

Reviewed By betycar - Mexico City, Mexico
No contraten a la empresa RocaXtrema, no cuenta con los procedimientos ni instalaciones adecuadas para la tirolesa.
Denunciamos por esta vía la falta de profesionalismo y negligencia de la empresa RocaXtrema que causo un accidente el pasado 15 de abril 2014 en el tercer tramo de la tirolesa en el Rio Milagro en Mineral del Chico. El guía encargado de preparar y asegurar que el trayecto de uno de nosotros fuera adecuado, olvidó anclar el mosquetón a la base y por lo tanto la persona chocó fuertemente con la base de llegada.
El equipo de RocaXtrema no contaba con ningún procedimiento en este caso de accidentes. Al levantar la denuncia en el Ayuntamiento de Mineral el Chico con las autoridades de Turismo y de Protección civil, el Sr. Eduardo Bernal no se presentó. Nuestra solicitud fue que prohibieran las actividades a esta empresa hasta no contar con los requerimientos de seguridad necesarios. También solicitamos que la empresa se haga responsable de los daños ocurridos.

If you have decided to go to Mineral del Monte, the English Graveyard is a must.
Please make an effort to hire a local guide, preferably look for Sir Chencho's daughter, her stories and knowledge of the place are outstanding, she is the current graveyard keeper.
The mix between cultures, religions, cults, groups and homogeneity between heterogeneity is amazing, but you will not get this without the dedicated explanation.
The place is small, but it will take you a good hour to go through.
The access requires a small 200 meter walk on cobblestones.
Enjoy!
