Fun Fact

The Peña de Bernal is a rock formation product of an extinct volcano, it is considered the third largest monolith in the world after the Rock of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean Sea and Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It has a height of 288 meters high and an altitude of 2515 meters above sea level. It has existed for more than 10 million years and comes from a volcano that over the years became inactive and the lava inside solidified. Later, erosion and time made the rest of the volcano disappear and only the solid magma remained. In November 2007, the Peña de Bernal was recognized as one of the 13 Wonders of Mexico and considered a tourist destination with great historical and cultural relevance. In September 2009, the area was recognized as Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO: "Places of memory and living traditions of the Otomí-Chichimecas of Tolimán: the Peña de Bernal, guardian of a sacred territory."
