Huasca de Ocampo is a town and municipality of the state of Hidalgo in central Mexico. It is located 34 km from Pachuca and 16 km from Real del Monte in the Pachuca Mountains. While the town itself is just within the mountain range, much of the municipal land is located in a valley that opens up to the east of the town. While one of the first haciendas to be established in Mexico is located here, economic development started with mining haciendas built by Pedro Romero de Terreros in the 18th century. By the mid 20th century, none of these haciendas were in existence, having been broken up into communal farm lands (ejido) and some even fully or partially under lakes created by dams. While agriculture remains important economically, the area has been promoted as a tourism destination, especially for weekend visitors from Mexico City, with attractions such as canyons, traditional houses, old hacienda facilities and waterfalls.

Located in the state of Hidalgo, Huasca de Ocampo is a small town with a population of around 10,000 people. It is known for its stunning natural beauty, including the scenic waterfalls and lush green forests that surround the town. One of the most popular attractions in Huasca de Ocampo is the Prismas Basalticos, which are a set of hexagonal basalt columns that were formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago.

Apart from its natural wonders, Huasca de Ocampo is also home to several historical landmarks that showcase Mexico's rich cultural heritage. One such landmark is the Hacienda San Miguel Regla, which was built in the 18th century and served as a sugar cane plantation. Today, the hacienda has been converted into a hotel and museum, where you can learn about its history and admire its stunning architecture.
