Things To Do
Peña de Bernal
The mountain of Peña de Bernal is 1,412 feet tall and is considered the 3rd largest monolith in the world. It is also famous for being home to traditions of the indigenous Otomí. Tickets can be purchased at the door. The cost should be about 50 pesos, or $2.50. The journey takes an hour from Villa Antigua depending on how many stops are made between Queretaro and Bernal. You’ll get dropped off on the main road about a 5-minute walk from the main plaza of town. The bus picks up from the same place on the other side of the road. If you’re unsure about where the bus stop is, you can ask around and you’ll be pointed in the right direction.
Vuela En Globo Tequisquiapan
October is the perfect time to experience the breathtaking views of Queretaro from a hot air balloon. As the weather begins to cool down, the skies are clear and the landscapes are vibrant with fall colors. Floating above the city and surrounding countryside in a hot air balloon is a truly unforgettable experience that captures the beauty and charm of Queretaro, visit the website for more information.
La Trinidad
This is a very interesting tour that sets off from Tequisquiapan and includes a beautiful hike to the opal caves. Besides the beautiful landscape and cave formations, you can learn a lot about the Opal and the local economy around it. The guide’s father is the owner of the cave you are going to visit, so you will hear all the stories directly from the source. Plus, if you find an opal stone, you can take it with you.
Freixenet México
Famous winery, visit the website to buy the admission tickets. To catch the bus to the Finca Sala Vivé winery from Bernal, wait outside Chocolates Xocoles. To double-check it’s the right bus, you can ask the driver ‘Vas a Finca Sala Vivé Freixenet?’ or show them the location on Google Maps. I’d recommend having this open anyway so you know where to jump off.
Viñedo Los Rosales
This Queretaro winery is best visited from Tequisquiapan as it’s just a 10-minute drive away. Jump in an orange taxi where Benito Juarez meets the highway, beside Aventura Park.
