Queretaro hotels - About Queretaro
Querétaro (former formal name: Querétaro 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 a phrase in the Otomi language meaning "the great ball game", or from a phrase in the P'urhépecha language translated as "place of stones".[citation needed] The area of La Cañada, east of Santiago de Querétaro, features a large gorge that resembles the two opposite walls, which may have been 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 Mexico State, and to the southwest by Michoacán.
The capital city of Santiago de Querétaro is located some 257 kilometres (160 miles) to the northwest of Mexico City. It is known for its Colonial Era architecture.
