Querétaro travel guide
Mexico · Top sights · trending spots
Querétaro is where the conspiracy that began Mexican independence was hatched in 1810, and its colonial centre has been World Heritage since 1996.
An aqueduct of seventy-four arches strides into the city from the eighteenth century. The country's newer wine region is around it, and the monolith at Bernal — one of the largest rocks of its kind anywhere — stands an hour east.
