Day Trip around Santiago de Queretaro
Description
At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in downtown Santiago de Queretaro. As we leave the city behind, we'll journey to San Joaquín and Cadereyta de Montes. Let the adventure begin!
First, we'll head to the delightful village of San Joaquin, nestled among the forested mountains of the region and boasting a delightful climate.
Our first stop will lead us to the heart of San Joaquin's downtown, where we can wander through its charming streets. Then, we will make our way to the Mining Museum, a dedicated tribute to the region's mining history and its significance.
From there, we'll delve into the underground world of the Gruta de los Herrera, a cave adorned with remarkable stalactites and stalagmites, a genuine marvel of nature!
As we continue on, we'll come to the archaeological site of Toluquilla, where we'll see intricate structures and areas ingeniously crafted for the renowned ball game. This site provides an ideal setting to delve into the pre-Hispanic heritage of the region.
During our return journey to Santiago, we'll make a pit stop at Cadereyta de Montes, allowing you to enjoy a lunch at any of the local restaurants nearby. Did you know that this town has held the prestigious Magical Village title since 2011? Its culinary offerings are renowned globally, particularly its barbacoa and pulque. You'll have some time to explore its typical haciendas, pay a visit to the planetarium, and take a walk through its botanical gardens.
After 12 hours of cultural immersion, we'll bring our day to an end back at your hotel in Santiago de Queretaro.
