Pair this trip with a day of exploring the nearby wine route. The mountain of Peña de Bernal is 1,412 feed tall and is considered the 3rd largest monolith in the world. This thing is massive! Peña de Bernal actually refers to the name of the monolith, whereas the town itself is technically named Bernal.
