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.

This is a true Wonder of Nature of Mexico. Worth spending few days, to explore caves, hot baths under the clear sky, flora of the canyon, and a lot of water activities. Most parts are safe to stay with little kids, some other require more advanced skills. The La Gloria part and the river itself are open 24 hours so night baths are also quite magical. I recommend to buy fruits and meat for barbacoa on the way from Ixmiquilpan as there is quite limited offer of food on the place. But on the weekend you may enjoy famous barbacoa Hidalgo style mate on hhe maguey leaves. Delicious!

Catching the bus from Mexico City Terminal North, it is a short 1 hour and 45 minute bus journey direct to Tula de Allende. Conveniently the bus station is a 10 minute walk in to the centre of town (el jardin) and then to catch a collectivo to the archaeological site is an additional 10 minutes walk, a short distance out of the centre. Not sure how the collectivos are labelled, but i just asked for the Tula ruins site and was able to be directed to a minivan. The minivan cost 8 pesos (one way) and dropped me at the Oxxo store at the driveway to the site. Add another 10 minute walk and i was buying my tickets. It is one of the few places in Mexico where i was not charged a fee to take video or photos. There were guides at the gate and also on-site however they only seemed to speak Spanish. At each of the buildings there are signs in English and Spanish. Once inside, there are about 4 to 5 key buildings. As others have mentioned it is not a big site. Overall I was there about 2 - 2.5 hours and that was a fairly thorough walk around, time to take photos, and short rest. There are no vendors selling drinks or food once inside, be sure to have water with you. The site is dry, hot and with minimal shade. The crowds were small and by no means anything like the other big tourist sites. For a day trip it is a nice day. To return to town the collectivo will pick up from the Oxxo, you need to wave it down. Alternatively, the taxis offer a shared service. You still pay the same 8 pesos, only you are in a taxi car rather than a mini van. Tula town, unfortunately, doesn't offer so many other attractions, so no need to hang around the town if you don't want to but the town does offer some quaint little cafes offering lunch.
