The city of Santiago de Querétaro
Located in the historic center of the city, the aqueduct was designated in 1996 by UNESCO as an area of historic monuments. It is an essential place to visit and an emblem of Mexican history. Join a night tour to learn about the legends that have endured to this day.
Santa Rosa de Viterbo Temple Tour
Its exterior is worthy of admiration, whose facade and tower have Arab influence. It also has a bell tower with two bodies. Inside you will find imposing works and murals with a history of more than 200 years. The former convent is now the headquarters of the Queretaro Institute of Culture and the Arts.
Tour in the pyramid of the great Cué
Also known as the pyramid of El Pueblito, it belongs to the archaeological zone of El Cerrito. This construction is 30 meters high and like many of the pyramids built in Mexico, it was used to celebrate religious ceremonies.
Thanks to the National Institute of Anthropology and History, much of its origins are now known.
We will make another recommendation if you are passionate about pyramids and the ancient Mayan culture: visiting the pre-Hispanic city of Teotihuacan, you can see several of them.
Tour of the Temple of the Cross
Previously this temple built by the Franciscans was a chapel to the Holy Cross. In the 17th century it grew and a church and a convent were built. It is one of the most visited buildings in Queretaro.
Visita al Cerro de las Campanas
It is currently a public park, but it represents one of the most important moments in history.
It was here where the liberals and conservatives fought to lead the country, and where the Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg was killed.
Dare to know the origin of the name of the hill of the bells and book a tour.
