April 5, 2022 Agatha Simes

The locals have long frequented "balnearios" and 600 hot springs bubble up around the country. Tequisquiapan, an enticing cheese and wine-making region in the state of Querétaro, is the perfect destination for those wanting to pair their hot springs experience with a delicious gourmet escape.

Reserva Sierra Gorda

Reviewed By offthepath6 - Hastings, United States

We went out to Sierra Gorda with our guide Juan Emanuel from Bike Queretaro tours. The drive out is not necessarily beautiful but unique. We stopped at Puerta del cielo for a picture, then went to chuveje falls. The falls were beautiful and a short easy hike. The water is crystal clear but freezing. The food stand right outside was delicious. We then went to Rio escanela and the puente de dios. This was incredible. The hike was a little longer, but not difficult. You cross multiple wooden bridges, with many great spots for beautiful pictures and scenery. The puente itself was amazing, again with really cold water, but I was able to hike past this and there were great views past it as well..

Iglesia de Santa Rosa de Viterbo

Reviewed By also-ran - Chicago, United States

One of the most ornate of the historic churches of Queretaro, with unusual architectural arches on the exterior and elaborate wood carving and gilt inside. The massive grill at the back of the church walls off the area where nuns were once shielded from the world--even in church. There is also a small museum, open on certain dates and times.

El Acueducto De Queretaro

Reviewed By Cal337 - Hong Kong, China

This should be the #1 tourist attraction in Queretaro - it is by far the most unique experience (la Peña de Bernal an hour away not included). It's huge and maybe the only chance to see a Roman-style aqueduct in North America. Is it worth going out of your way to see this and Queretaro? If you're driving through, it's worth a stop. If you're on a short vacation and the goal is a lot of sightseeing, Queretaro might not be a worthwhile place to spend a night. The aqueduct is large and it's there, but that's about it. It's not like you can walk on top of it or anything.

MUCAL Museo del Calendario

Located in a beautiful XVII century house restored to be a museum which shows a magnificent wood carving replica of the "Calendario Azteca" or "Piedra del Sol", original paintings created between 1930 to late 60´s to become calendar images, and an astonishing collection of old advertising calendars from 1884 to our days. Enjoy the beatiful gardens and relax with the best cup of coffee in town.
