Zona de Preservación Ecológica Cerro del Lobo, Ecological preservation area in Pachuca Municipality, Mexico.
Zona de Preservación Ecológica Cerro del Lobo is a nature reserve in Pachuca Municipality with eucalyptus forests and multiple walking trails. The site provides habitat for native birds and mammals across its hilly terrain.
The state government declared this land as public utility in 1988 to protect the environment and prevent uncontrolled settlement. This decision marked a shift toward preserving what had previously been a mining area.
The name refers to the wolf, a symbol of the wild nature that once dominated this region. Visitors can sense how mining heritage and current conservation efforts shape the way people view and use this land today.
The site is open daily for nature observation and walking, with multiple trails available for visitors. Plan for the high altitude and bring proper footwear, as the terrain is hilly and can be uneven.
The area sits above thermal spring formations created by early Miocene volcanic activity. These geological features provide an unexpected underground connection to the site's former mining history.
