About Zimapán
Zimapán is a mountain town in western Hidalgo, set in dry, rugged country where the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt meets the Sierra Madre Oriental. It is an old mining town with a colonial center, and it serves as a gateway to the canyons and sierra of the Moctezuma River basin. Travelers come for the quiet plaza and parish church, the mining heritage, and the mountain scenery around it.
