Bernal is a picturesque town located in the central Mexican state of Querétaro, famous for its towering monolith La Peña de Bernal. With its cobblestone streets, charming colonial architecture, and beautiful natural surroundings, Bernal is a charming and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Visitors can explore the town's rich cultural heritage and local traditions, including artisanal markets, historic churches, and local festivals.
Climbing
This mighty monolith is one of the tallest in the world and can be seen for miles and miles. The stunning rock is a beacon, attracting rock climbers from Mexico and around the world. It offers a number of routes of varying degrees of difficulty. For the less adventurous (us), a moderately strenuous 30-minute hike will take you as far as you can safely scale the rock without ropes. The vista from the Bernal peña provides great views of the town below and the expansive plateau on which it sits.
Explore with atvs
A hugely popular activity throughout Mexico and particularly here. Guided tours are available or rent an ATV or buggy and get to explore yourself. It is a great way to see the countryside around this rural town and discover the Peña de Bernal from another perspective. You can find several rental agencies on the town’s main drag, Benito Juárez.
Grab a "gordita"
Gorditas, specifically those made with black corn are the specialty item of the town. Flat cornbreads are made from black corn giving them their distinct color and stuffed with guiso, a thick meat stew, and other fillings. Of course, there are plenty of options in this touristic town, from pizza and pasta to American bbq to fine dining, there is a huge selection for such a tiny town.
