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.
