In this town at the end of the mountain the bonanza of old times still resonates, when several estates were built that made the Count of Regla the richest man of his time. Now they are part of a stage with forests and ravines, where stone prisms and waterfalls and dams will steal your breath.

One of the first things we are going to visit are the Basaltic Prisms, formed thousands of years ago, a set of rocks that shine with sunlight. Its geometric structure approximately forty meters high is imposing. In this geological phenomenon, the waters of the San Antonio Dam form four waterfalls that play happily on the prisms.
