You know more with a tour than you do on your own. - It was a very long but very pleasant private tour with Alexa as Guide and Joaquin as Driver. The first stop was in Huasca, the first magical town and Alexa told us the story of the founding of the town as well as how it was named "magical town" and the legend that gave birth to the goblins. We visited the temple of San Miguel, had lunch and bought souvenirs. When it was time to go to the Hacienda de Santa María Regla, Alexa gave us an exhaustive tour explaining in detail each corner and we went down to the waterfall and began to appreciate the Prisms. And then we went to the Basaltic Prism Park and we could see all the angles of the waterfalls and the prisms. We conclude in the village of Mineral del Monte to eat. It was starting to drizzle and there was a bank of fog engulfing the village which made the visit really beautiful with a wet and delicious cold. I recommend this tour although they should consider that they should wear warm clothes but that they can be removed because it can be hot but with really freezing wind that compensates for the heat in Huasca and the Prismas. But in Mineral del Monte it is very cold indeed. The Alexa Guide very Pro and Mr. Joaquin excellent driver, prudent and skilled driving with mist and rain. Highly recommended.

Great Prisms - Very good views, different areas to take pictures. Also very interesting things, Alexa knew many things and told us, besides that she was very friendly, as was Joaquin. It felt a very quiet and comfortable atmosphere and in confidence. Very personalized and patient.

Beautiful natural landscape - A place full of mysticism, there are many legends about leprechauns that make it more interesting! The place is beautiful, the waterfalls and the style of the stones by the erosion that makes them water is UNIQUE.

Beautiful Patzcuaro Magic Town - I remembered how quiet the magical towns are, the excellent gastronomy they have and how close they are to the CDMX

Magic Towns - The guide I had, Liliana, was excellent. She was super kind and informative. She spoke in English while there was another guide that spoke to those who only understand Spanish. We also had another that drove the bus for us. The guides were very kind and the trip was great. Really interesting places to visit! Definitely worth seeing.

Not worth it. - The places are very nice, but the transport was a martyrdom, between people who do not comply with the security measures by covid, and the uncomfortable transport, I really doubt to use this means to travel again. The time in the places to visit was very busy, with only 20 minutes to photograph the hacienda.
