Mexico: State of Queretaro (December 2022)
(This banner shows a

in Jalpan de Serra.)
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.
