Mexiquillo Natural Park is a protected area located in the state of Durango, Mexico. It is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including a number of endangered species. The park is known for its beautiful landscapes and natural beauty, and it is a popular destination for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and outdoor enthusiasts.

According to geological research, the region that is now Mexiquillo Natural Park was once part of a shallow sea that covered much of present-day Durango. Over millions of years, the sea receded and the area was transformed into a dry land.

The park is home to a number of geological formations that provide evidence of its aquatic past, including fossilized shells and marine organisms that can be found in the area. These formations are a testament to the dynamic and constantly changing nature of the earth, and they provide a glimpse into the rich and varied history of the region.

Imagine for a second, standing there, look around, those rock formations below the sea of stars used to be a sea of water. Millions of sea animals used to swim around these rocks.

Today, Mexiquillo Natural Park is a vital part of the Durango landscape, and it serves as an important haven for wildlife and a place of beauty and serenity for visitors.
