Highlights
I myself will be in charge of leading this trip. I will share with you some of the history traditions and cosmogony among other things of our indigenous nations, about people, their society, style and religion. I will give to you general information through a fun talk to make this an experiential experience and of course I will address all the questions and specific topics that each person or group wanted to know.
Each visit must be a personal an unique experience an although there is a previously defined itinerary, the trip will be adapted to the taste of each person. My wish is that you enjoy this visit to the fullest and that by knowing a little more about our history and our roots, which are originated in Spain, but also in the Moorish traditions an of course American Indians cultures, you will marvel at our unique magical colorful and different culture.
Itinerary
Museo De La Muneca
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeAt the Semi-desert area of Queretaro state, we are going to visit three beautiful magical towns, learning a little about foundation, ethnic groups, craft and religion. First will be Amealco de Bonfíl, where you will be surprised with the Doll Museum and the famous Otomi doll called Lelé which means baby in their language in addition to a 300 dolls exhibition from all over the world. The Town´s main square with buildings and temples of the XVII century, including Saint Mary´s parish surrounded by cobblestone streets and walkways.Centro Artesanal La Aurora
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeThen at Bernal we are going to get inside of an old workshop with 18t century looms, where there still are making sweaters, quilts, rugs, ponchos, curtains and all kind of wool articles mainly without the use of electricity or modern technology in the way their ancestors taught them.Tequisquiapan
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeAt Tequis (Tequisquiapan regular name), we will be visiting the woven wicker and wood craft markets, Wicker is a natural fiber from a local bush that the Otomies an Purepechas learned to handle in order to create all kind of utilitarian and decorative items such as lamps, armchairs, tables, screens, furniture, baskets, garbage cans among many others.Bernal
3 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeAhh I forgot to say that first it is Tequis and then Bernal. At Bernal we will have the time to eat something if you feel like doing it, I will recommend the famous Gorditas stuffed with different stews, delicacies most of them such as cactus, pork, potatoes and the nopal on its grilled penca with cheese, bacon, onions.....a true delight to the palate. Later we will get to know the typical sweets, the cacti ice cream and the freshly baked bread filled wit strawberries, black berries, sweet milk and jaggery candy (piloncillo).Saint Sebastian's Temple in Bernal
40 minsAdmission Ticket FreeAnd then, once we are there, at Bernal, we have to visit the Temple of San Sebastian, located right there at the side of the main square because he is the Saint patron of the town. Built between 1700 and 1725 does not have architecturally speaking a defined style, however at the front façade we can see the Catholic and Indigenous syncretism, you will found out over there. It is a church built in the Roman Christianity style with a main nave an two lateral side naves, the same style of Saint Peter´s Rome Basilica.
