Located in Central Mexico two hours away from Mexico City, the state of Queretaro is a popular destination for tourists due to its rich history and beautiful setting.
The state has a thriving economy that sets it apart from other Mexican states and is an important transportation center for all of Mexico.
Queretaro derives its name from the Tarascan word "Queréndaro," which means "place for the crags," a reference to the mountainous terrain.
The capital city of Queretaro is Santiago de Querétaro. The capital is sometimes referred to as Queretaro City and is the state's largest city. Santiago de Querétaro was founded in 1531 by the conquistadors and was the site of the Spanish aqueduct, which is a major tourist attraction in the modern period.
Manufacturing is the largest industry in Queretaro, with automotive, aeronautics, processed foods, paper and home appliances being the largest sectors. Hospitality spurred by the tourism industry is the second largest industry in Queretaro.
Headed by the state's governor, Queretaro has been recognized as having far less corruption that other Mexican states by Transparency International
