Prismas Basalticos
See an unusual geological formation at Prismas Basalticos, a set of tall basalt columns through which a stream of water runs. Located in a scenic ravine, the cluster of thin, matchstick-like columns owes its striking form to the slow cooling of volcanic lava. First championed by German explorer and intellectual Alexander von Humboldt, the natural attraction today benefits from the addition of stairs, walkways, and bridges, making it easy to get up close.

Surrounded by forests and lake, the place is ideal for sightseeing, relaxing, camping, hiking, horseback riding, buying souvenirs, and many more outdoor activities. There are a football field and children playground so everyone got something to do. Area is clean and well maintained and parking /toilet facilities are aplenty.
