Tequisquiapan

Known for its beautiful and flowery cobblestone streets, Tequisquiapan is a place to stroll and enjoy the tranquility of provincial air, which combines the best of life outside the daily hustle and bustle of the city with the modernity of its gastronomic and tourist amenities.

The heart of this Pueblo Mágico is graced by the parish church of Santa María de la Asunción and the restaurants, galleries, and handicraft stores that surround the Plaza Miguel Hidalgo, where you can watch the people walk by, enjoy an ice cream sitting in the shade of the trees over the planters.

A few blocks away is the Monument to the Geographic Center, a structure that reminds us that Venustiano Carranza, during his presidency, decreed that Tequisquiapan was the geographic center of the country.

Also, be sure to visit La Pila Park, the site of the annual National Cheese and Wine Fair that takes place every weekend for almost a month from the end of May to mid-June.

The beauty of Tequisquiapan has attracted excellent lodging and restaurant proposals that offer both comfortable design environments and interesting signature cuisine ranging from international or traditional menus to fusions with vernacular gastronomy.

Among its attractions is the Museo México Me Encanta, with an extraordinary miniature exhibition of the main scenes of Mexican daily life in the province: tianguis, fairs, mechanical workshops, torterias, XV birthday parties, hairdressers, stationers, and many other spaces elaborated with surprising attention to detail.

Tequisquiapan is known for its hot air balloon flights over the surrounding valley but also for visits to the opal mines located in the community of La Trinidad, dedicated to the extraction of this semi-precious stone in a combination of ecotourism, crafts, and culture.

Currently, with the recognition for its development of wellness tourism, this Magic Town has undoubtedly established itself as a destination for relaxation and family enjoyment.
