Cadereyta de Montes

Visiting this Magical Town is a unique experience as it is the entrance to the Sierra Gorda of Queretaro; it is a municipality with great geographic diversity: it has a semi-desert climate in the south and forests in the north. In 2011 it was named a Magical Town thanks to its history and its magic inherited from the native peoples of the region, as well as for its diverse tourist attractions.

Jardin Botanico Regional de Cadereyta

One of the 20 most important botanical gardens in Mexico, it was founded on April 25, 1991. The Garden houses 5 botanical collections: the Semi-desert, Cacti of Querétaro, Vegetation of the Valley of Querétaro, The Mammillaria genus in Mexico and Agaves of Querétaro. This place, recognized for the number of endangered species it artificially reproduces, reminds us, as a family, of the need to take care of our environment. There is also a wilderness area and a pair of viewing points at the base of a volcanic rock cliff of about 50 m in height which frames the area of the scientific collection.
