On a short hike, you explore a small part of the park with its rock formations in the form of columns and huge boulder fields that are over 250 million years old. The largest rocks are up to 80 m (260 ft.) high and owe their names to the similarity with churches, towers, castles, and monks. 2 City tour of the colonial town of Sombrerete Duration: 01:30 h · Level: Easy Founded in 1570, Sombrerete became soon famous for its large gold, silver, lead and mercury deposits. The nobles built churches and patrician houses on spacious plazas. Visit the churches of Santo Domingo and La Soledad and the San Francisco monastery. In the 17th century, the mighty royal tax office was founded; it collected the fee along the Camino Real (royal road) for the Spanish Crown. The building was later used for one of the first mints in America.
