Things to do in Pachuca

  1. Do

    Bioparque Convivencia Pachuca

    Animal conservatory that is pretty dilapidated. Come here if you want to see a sad lion.

    10ː00-17ː00 Tue-Sun, closed Mon

  2. Do

    Cerro del Lobo

    Public park with steep trails and cobblestone paths leading up to a mirador featuring the best sunset views in the city. Unfortunately, the park is not well maintained and is in desperate need of a litter cleanup event.

  3. Do

    Cubitos Ecological Park

    Eco-park focusing on the life and environment of the semi-desert ecosystem. Includes one of the largest cacti collections in the region. A petting zoo for children has goats, chickens, sheep and pigs. It's a big park with miles of pea-gravel surface trails, but there's very little shade and a whole lot of sunshine, so bring a hat and a water bottle.

    Daily 08:30 - 15:00

  4. Do

    Estadio Hidalgo

    Catch a pro soccer game almost any time of the year since the local team Club de Fútbol Pachuca (often known locally as Los Tuzos) plays in Mexico's top football league, the Liga MX which has two annual seasons.

    Teatro San Francisco

    Iconic historic theatre, remodeled in the 1990s, with performing arts events including ballet, dance, music, and live theatre. Very limited off-street parking.
