El Oro

El Oro de Hidalgo is a small colonial era town in northwestern that was once a hub of mining activity. Many visitors come for its colorful history and charming old-world atmosphere, but it also offers opportunities for outdoor recreation, particularly on Presa Brockman, a man-made lake, and the pine forests of nearby Rayon National Park.
