In the Sierra de la Giganta, one of the most striking features is its basaltic rocks, which tell a geological story millions of years in the making. These ancient formations, found in various locations across the region, provide a stunning backdrop for outdoor exploration and photography.

The Basaltic Prisms in the Sierra de la Giganta are remarkable geological structures formed over 2.5 million years ago through the rapid cooling of magma. The cylindrical basalt columns, often arranged in ordered hexagonal sections, are a testament to the volcanic activity that shaped this region.
