Description
The history of Mexico permeates every street, house, plaza, and church in downtown Querétaro. On this tour, you'll experience the founding of Querétaro with the battle between Indigenous people and Spaniards on San Gremial Hill. You'll discover the splendor of the Colonial period, reflected in the Santa Clara Church, the courtyard of the former San Agustín Convent, and the home of the Marchioness of Villa del Villar. You'll see one of the most emblematic sites of Mexico's independence when we talk about the Querétaro insurgents. You'll recall the defeat of Maximilian, the place where he spent his last night before being shot by Juárez. At the Theater of the Republic, you'll imagine the 1917 Constituent Congress, presided over by Don Venustiano Carranza, which ended the revolution.
On this tour, you'll relive the history of Mexico through its main stages, leaving you feeling awe, pride, and curiosity to learn more and better understand the origins of this Mexico of ours, full of contradictions.
I look forward to your reservation so we can meet the heroes and villains of Mexican history together.
