EL CHICO TRAIL RUNNING TOUR – 12 KM
Runner on the ground - CITLA
Stories of “Mineral del Monte” tell that the miners used to hide their treasures in the leftovers of their “pastes” (pasties in English) a kind of salty pie introduced by the British contractors from Cornwall England, when they came to explode the mines.
Mineral del Monte is part of a rocky mountain National Part in Hidalgo State and some of the best and most beautiful places to practice trail running.
In about 7 miles and almost 3000 meters above sea level we are going to explore this National Park, visiting places like “El Cuervo” natural balcony or “La Muela” and “La Cruz del Negro” boulder, all this surrounded by a pine, oak and oyamel forest.
A day trip that will take you to an epic journey through this stunning place located in the central region of Mexico land of Toltecs, one of the ancient pre-Columbian cultures in Mexico
After our run, we are going to enjoy of a Mexican meal with traditional food and a well-deserved beer in Mineral del Monte
An amazing running adventure is waiting for you, so do not miss the opportunity to run with us in this epic place and enjoy of our El Chico trail running tour in Mexico.

This was a fantastic day trip, it’s definitely worth the early morning and the 2hr drive to El Chico. The volcanic rock formations are amazing, we visited 3 viewpoints (and had two of them completely to ourselves).
Overall we gained about 650m in elevation, reaching a peak just over 3000m above sea level. I did more running than walking because of the elevation. Citla was a friendly and patient guide!

Mineral del Chico is a great spot to go for trail running. With its amazing views, the tour finishes with breakfast literally at the top of the rocks! Everything was very well organized (schedule, transport and snacks). Citla is a super kind guide!
