I did a one-week trip to the state of Queretaro in the middle of December 2022. My two main goals were to visit the 17th-century Franciscan missions of the Sierra Gorda and the Otomi chapels in the Toliman region. I also spent a couple of days in Santiago de Queretaro (more commonly called Queretaro), the capital of the state of Queretaro. I had already visited this city in 2007, along with other colonial cities of central Mexico. But Santiago de Queretaro is definitively worth a second visit, especially 15 years after the first.

 

I kept the photos of Santiago de Queretaro I took in 2007 in the webpage I created several years ago, which also contains photos from the states of Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Colima, and Michoacan.
