Overview

Sierra de Organos National Park (Parque Nacional Sierra de Órganos) is a scenic park with hundreds of unusual rock formations in the states of Zacatecas and Durango, Mexico. The park territory is about evenly split between the two states, but most visitors enter via Sombrerete in Zacatecas. It is an enchanting and surreal landscape reminiscent of some of the U.S. national parks near Moab, Utah.
