About This Tour

A private day trip to Querétaro and San Miguel de Allende, covering Querétaro's real role in Mexico's independence movement, its 74-arch aqueduct, and San Miguel's Allende Institute, cathedral, and murals. This is confirmed on the listing as: 'This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate.' Real stops include the historic center of Santiago de Querétaro and its genuine 74-arch aqueduct, and San Miguel de Allende's Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, the Allende Institute, and the murals at the Nigromante monument.

Querétaro's role in Mexican independence is concrete and local. In 1810 the conspirators planning the uprising met at gatherings disguised as literary meetings hosted by Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, wife of the corregidor. When the plot was betrayed on 13 September, she was locked in an upstairs room but managed to pass a warning to fellow conspirator Ignacio Pérez, who rode to San Miguel and Dolores. Hidalgo gave the Grito de Dolores on 16 September.

Querétaro's aqueduct has 74 arches and was completed in the 1730s, with water arriving on 17 October 1738; heights quoted by sources range from about 23 to 28 metres. The city's historic centre is a UNESCO site, listed in 1996.

San Miguel de Allende, the other half of the day, is named partly for Ignacio Allende, one of the conspirators who met in Querétaro, which ties the two stops into a single story. Its pink-stone parish church rises over the main square, and the town's art-school history explains the Allende Institute and the murals.
