Expect 3 to 4 hours each way via highway. It is a long day trip, so an early morning departure is highly recommended.

It is moderately active. While the prisms are accessible, some paths are rocky. Real del Monte's cobblestone streets require careful walking.

Q: Can I try authentic local food during the Real del Monte stop?

Yes! Be sure to try 'Paste,' a traditional Cornish-style pastry that is the signature snack of this mining town.

Q: What kind of camera gear should I bring for the Basaltic Prisms?

A wide-angle lens is best to capture the scale of the columns, and bring a tripod if you want to capture detail in low-light conditions.

Signal can be spotty or non-existent near the columns. Download offline maps beforehand to help with navigation and sightseeing.
