 Querétaro
Information:
Querétaro (formal name: Querétaro de Arteaga) is a state in central Mexico. Its capital is the city of Santiago de Querétaro, although in general parlance the name "Querétaro" is used for both the city and the state. The name is thought to come from the Otomí language meaning "the great ball game" or from the Tarasco/Purépecha language and have the definition of "place of stones". It should be noted that the area of La Cañada, east of Santiago de Querétaro, features a large gorge that resembles the two opposite walls that were used in the Native American ball game. Querétaro is bordered to the north by the state of San Luis Potosí, to the west by Guanajuato, to the east by Hidalgo, to the southeast by the state of México, and to the southwest by Michoacán. The capital city of Santiago de Querétaro is located some 200 km to the northwest of Mexico City. It is known for its Colonial Era architecture. Click
