After hours Santiago de Querétaro
Santiago de Querétaro, the state´s capital, is a stunning city where past and present blend well.
The historic center, one of the most beautiful ones in México, has been declared by UNESCO as Cultural Heritage of Humanity. We invite you to stroll on its streets, visit the museums and discover all of what this impressive city has to offer. Use divider slides to separate different sections of your pitch
Acueducto
Symbol of the city, built between 1726 and 1735 by the Marques Juan Antonio de Urrutia. Querétaro’s downtown was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for its rich history and unmatchable collection of baroque-style mansions, houses and churches. México’s independence from Spain began right in the heart of downtown, where conspirators held clandestine meetings to plan their rebellion. DRAFT
Churches in Querétaro
From baroque to neoclassical, each facade, steeple and finishing touch on Querétaro’s churches tells the story of a distinguished colonial past and an intensely religious way of life.
Querétaro was the third most important city in the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Its religious buildings make that heritage clear even today. Restaurants

San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende is a city that manages to be both quaint and cosmopolitan at the same time. Once an important stop on the silver route between Zacatecas and México City, its historic center is filled with well- preserved buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. With its narrow cobblestone streets, leafy courtyards, fine architectural details and sumptuous interiors, San Miguel de Allende is arguably the prettiest town in México.

Tequisquiapan
Tequisquiapan is part of Querétaro’s Wine Route with La Redonda as the municipality’s major producer. Grape production began in the early 1960s, but has become important enough to be featured on the municipality’s seal. The town hosts the annual National Cheese and Wine Fair which showcases southern Querétaro’s cheese and wine production. Most important wine brands are Freixenet and la Redonda.

At 433 m (1,421 ft) it is the tallest monolith in the world. Peña de Bernal is located in San Sebastian Bernal, a small town in the Mexican state of Querétaro. A recent chemical analysis by researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico has determined that it was formed about 8.7 million years ago. Many people make a pilgrimage to the highest point hikeable, visiting a little chapel about halfway up.
