La Marquesa National Park

The park has a Centro de Información Turistica visitor center, which is a trailhead for walking paths and forest trails.

[1] Near the village of La Marquesa are three large bronze statues of men on horseback looking east toward Mexico City.

They are the national heroes Miguel Hidalgo, Ignacio Allende, and José Mariano Jiménez.

The memorial commemorates the Battle of Monte de las Cruces, which took place here in October 1810.

La Marquesa is in the ejido of San Jerónimo Acazulco, of the indigenous Otomí community.
