Parque Ecológico Cubitos, Ecological park in Pachuca Municipality, Mexico
Parque Ecológico Cubitos is a protected natural area spanning parts of Pachuca de Soto and Mineral de la Reforma, with walking trails, gardens, and learning spaces throughout. The grounds include zones for exploring native plants and wildlife, along with areas for rest and observation.
The area gained official protection as a State Park in 2002 following earlier efforts to preserve the Cubitos and Zopilote hills from urban expansion. This designation marked a key moment for protecting the natural landscape in the Pachuca region.
The educational facilities include an interactive farm, botanical garden, and environmental monitoring center that promote conservation awareness among visitors.
The grounds are open during daylight hours and have no entrance fee. Come with sturdy footwear and bring water, since the paths cross varying terrain throughout the park.
The Tuzuario is a facility dedicated to observing and displaying prairie dogs in their natural setting. It offers visitors a chance to see these animals in ways they rarely experience elsewhere.
