Piedras Encimadas - Piedrasencimadas.com
Existen múltiples teorías sobre el origen de estas rocas, sin embargo la más acertada de acuerdo a estudios científicos por parte de la Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM) 2009, las rocas son de origen volcánico con una edad aproximada de 1.3 ± 0.2 millones de años, son parte de un depósito de flujo piroclástico rico en cristales de alta densidad. En el lugar se observan extrañas esculturas pétreas causadas por la erosión diferencial, tienen el aspecto de lavas de color café o gris oscuro y se caracteriza por el alto contenido de cristales de cuarzo y feldespato. Son numerosos los elementos que intervienen en el tallado del perfil de los restos rocosos, la heterogeneidad de la composición química, su colocación según la dirección de los vientos y el conjunto climático al que están expuestas, son algunas de las causas de su desgaste irregular que generaron un equilibrio inexplicable, una gran belleza y originalidad.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing location very rustic but worth the drive. You experience a great view of natural rock formation mixed with some tourist things like wagon and horse rides. We skipped them and just spent a few hours wondering around and climbed a viewpoint to take some photos. No entrance fee but voluntary contributions welcome.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A huge park where you can ride a bike around, ride a zip-line, walk and climb rocks, have a picnic in a palapa or stroll in the wood.
Entrance is a donation.
The park is really big and it takes around 3 hours to see all of it, so you should consider a bike or a horse. There is an actual wood in the park and lots of trees but a significant part is not shadowed so you should probably put some sunscreen and use a hat.b

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Entry as well as parking is free, donations welcome. The last few km off the highway,to reach the place, is full of potholes. Huge area that would take several hours on foot. No map of the place as such. Taking the horse carriage would take one only a short distance beyond the restaurant. Paid toilets at entrance as well as near the restaurant. Recommended to take a guided tour on foot or on horseback to explore the place better. The day we went was quite sunny and warm with clear views and one would need sunglasses/sun hat/sunscreen. But can apparently be colder earlier in the morning and sometimes fog descends after noon. The rock formations were interesting enough but not overly impressive to those who have seen a better collection elsewhere but the vast open area has its own charm!
