Nature lovers and good place for whoever interested in trekking, river, falls and extreme adventure like via Ferrata
We directly reached Mineral del Chico (end of road) from Hidalogo through minibus where you can find information turístico (CENTER). You can find lot of cabañas ranging from 500 to 800 pesos. I stayed in san pedro and it is near to River costs only 600 pesos for two persons. There are many rivers in this location. Climate is really good and freezing in december.
Activities to do:
1) Hi-Go adventures - Via Ferrata, Trekking & some adventure activities for families. They will provide you free transport also. One day activity but you can combine with below Rio del Milagro as both are on the same way.
2) Rio del Milagro - Nice place where you can find the river along with many falls. In some you take bath if you can (freezing). You can even camp in the open place near the river. To access this river you need to have your own transport as no public transport available from the center.
3) Peña del Monjas - If you need hiking, there are people near Church in the center will take you to this place in a group and cost you 250 to 300 pesos and some interior falls. One day activity. The same person will arrange a small trip at 8:30 PM night for 2 hours. you will visit some insects and get to know the place (50 pesos).
You have other activities in this place itself if you want to explore or go back to the LAGO's (3 places are there) which is enroute to Mineral del Chico from Hidalgo.
If you plan correctly, in two days we can cover important places and still one more day you can explore places. There are even places to relax.
Food is really awesome in any resturant that you eat and you will get awesome pulque natural.

A long twisty road, but a beautiful place. We went up the Mirador with a great 360 view. The ride up was 25 min in a 4 wheels drive, and at the top we met a young couple who had run the all way, even at this altitude!
Beauties bromelias grow everywhere. The park is very clean. A great place for nature lovers.

I like nature, I like the woods, I wanted cold weather in May for my honeymoon... It was almost imposible in Mexico to get someplace cold; but some friends recomended me to visit El Chico. I wish I had married on that place.

I've started my South America tour stopping in Mexico. I thought I was heading to the Myan ruins but ended up visiting the "Mine ruins" Nevertheless it ended up being a good trip. If you are going to do the walking tour make sure to bring hiking shoes. Some of the edges can be slippery and you don't want to fall down an abandoned mine. I will visit again and be better prepared. (Safety rope, more water, snacks etc to go further down the mines). I recommend if your near Pachuca area.

Inhale deeply as you walk through the pine forest in El Chico Parque Nacional, but be careful not to get lost!!! We stayed at El cedral and camped with family, renting a cabin. There's a lake and everything is beautiful! Price is reasonable.

Hola Yotzani, nosotros planeamos ir este Marzo y a lo que hemos investigado, hay 3 campamentos que su única diferencia es la ubicación. Tu auto se queda en un estacionamiento externo y hay varias actividades que puedes preguntar en un tipo de caseta de visitantes. El costo por campamento oscila en los $100 por persona. En cuanto a cabañas no lo sé ya que nuestra investigación se ha basado en el campamento ya que es lo que queremos. Espero te sirva.
Hola, mi esposa y yo lo visitamos hoy. ¿No te pareció que los comerciantes del Chico son hoscos? Hoy lo visitamos mi esposa y yo, el lugar es indiscritible, mi primer comenterio fue: "este es el lugar en el que me gustariía vivir". Ya sabes, sueño loco de la adolescencia. Yo traía la opción de quedarnos en algún hotel y regresarrnos el lunes. En tonces, quise entrar a un hotel a pedir informes y además porque la terraza como sacar un foto de las montañas, y un hombrecito salió al paso y bloqueó la puerta. ¿Que se les ofrece?
- Queremos informes" -Repliqué
Y el dijo: -Yo les puedo explicar lo que necesiten", siempre interponiéndose al paso. Por su actitud me dieron ganas de madrear al hombrecito. Le dije a mi esposa, vámonos, este wey es un pendejo, Y emprendimos camino. Volví el rostro a mirarlo y el tipo se encontraba mirándome con actitud retadora. Se le notaba en el pecho, que había inflado. Luego hubo 2 anécdotas más, una en la tienda del té y otra en los baños. Pero el tiempo apremia. Tengo que terminar esta respuesta. Tampoco tenemos tiempo de bajar a la mina y al río, porque por cuestiones de comodidad nos propusimos regresar temprano a la ciudad de México. Ella, la chica que más amo y yo imaginamos que la carretera a la 6 pm de un domingo debá ser un infierno. Además hay muchos bares, y no estoy prejuzgando, a mi me gusta chingarme unos tragos, los disfruto mucho. Pero jamás me me tomo una sola cerveza si tengo que manejar. A cierta hora la gente debe empezar a abandonar el Chico de pérdida jodidamente taciturnos, y no debe faltar quienes regresen pedos, porque "si choco, me vale madre mi familia y los demás que se chinguen.
Aunque también me pregunto: "ellos son hostiles y la barba y el cabello blanco de mi pareja y el mío quizá no les gustó. Quizá les molestó nuestro aspecto hippie de viejos sesentones, jejeje. Si fue por nuestra facha, que bueno que a nuestra aún a nuestra edad todavía podamos frikear a la gente ¿No te parece?
Un gusto saludarte

Pues si pero...
El parque nacional no es un lugar "cerrado" tiene diferentes zonas de acampar, pescar, caminar, etc. cerca y lejos de carretera y caminos. Estas zonas son llamadas "Campamentos" y son diferentes a lo largo y ancho del parque desde los más cercanos al ingreso como es "Llano Grande" que si es cercado y no acepta perros, hasta "Los Conejos" ó "Carboneras" y otros más alejados pero con mucho bosque por delante, en donde tu perro será feliz!!
En la mayoría de las zonas, si puedes llevar a tu perro pero encontrarás muchos más de gente del lugar y su tu perro no es obediente puede desaparecer de tu vista en un segundo.
nosotros Acampamos 2 días y los perros "silvestres" sé comieron casi toda nuestra despensa durante la noche. Vimos perros flacos casi muertos de hambre hasta pitbull y rotweiler de gente del lugar paseando libremente. En la noche muchos ladrando.
así que es un SI más que un NO, pero ten tus previsiones.
Aceptan mascotas?

Puedes llevar hasta un Elefante sí quieres. dependiendo el "campamento" es decir la zona tienen sus reglas, mientras más te internes en el parque menos reglas, menos gente, menos ruido y más bosque, más frío (más altitud), más solo...
