Valley of Mushrooms, Rock formations in Creel, Mexico
Natural granite formations shaped like mushrooms spread across a pine forest landscape at 2,340 meters above sea level.
Twenty million years of wind and rain erosion created these volcanic rock formations in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range.
Indigenous Tarahumara people maintain their ancestral territories around these formations, selling traditional crafts to visitors throughout the year.
Located four kilometers from downtown Creel, the site requires a fifteen-minute drive on paved and unpaved roads to reach the entrance.
Each rock formation displays distinct patterns and shapes, with some reaching heights of over five meters against the mountain backdrop.

The Mexican state of Chihuahua extends from desert plains to pine forests in the Sierra Madre Occidental, reaching elevations above 2000 meters. The region preserves a rich cultural and natural heritage that includes pre-Columbian rock art, colonial-era mining facilities, and religious buildings from several centuries. The landscape features deep gorges, natural waterfalls, and extensive mountain ranges. Archaeological sites document the early settlement of the region, while churches and chapels reflect Spanish influence from the 16th century onward. The diverse ecosystems range from arid zones to dense coniferous forests and support varied flora and fauna.
