hours away from Mexico City and its a treasure
chest awaiting to be discovered.
Queretaro
State is one of the smallest in extension in Mexico with a population of
approximately 1'404,306 inhabitants, since its greatness rests so much in
architecture, as its wealth in historical facts, its beautiful spots, its
thermal waters and curative, large heights to escalate and also caverns to
descend and explore.

The
Queretaro

of QUERETAPARAZICUYO or YCHAHTZICUYO, that to be abridged remain in
Queretaro
that it means "Game of Ball". There are other versions that assure that the
name originates of Querenda "Stone large or
rock"; or of
Querendaro "Place or large stones people or cliffs".

and livestock farming industries, the state of
Queretaro
has a largely growing rate of industrial development, and a gateway to the

resources, that they invite to enjoy a rest
depending on their pleasures, climate or landscapes.
