Just read on ... The tour begins in the city of Queretaro to 5970 meters above sea level Querétaro is a colonial city was founded over 500 years, and was named World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1996. Located in the heart of the country two hours drive north of Mexico City. Today, he became one of the most dynamic cities in Mexico because of the environment of industrial parks, where many international companies are located. The first stop is only 45 minutes, Pe? One of Bernal ( Rock of Bernal ). We are talking about the third rock's biggest and highest in Mexico. At his feet a small picturesque village can be stopped by a soft drink, lunch and spend the night. You can also find unpleasant memories. No matter what you choose to do, this place is a duty. If you like climbing, which is the right place! The road to Bernal is not major problems, most of the road is straight with just a little extended curves ... but only after spending the Bernal starts to be fun! Surrounded by a barren landscape because of the high content of lime in the ground, starting with a very interesting part of Twisties, one by one, up and down, a technician of the road between the mountains about 30 miles. The landscape has changed a bit as he before and a few kilometers later, you are surrounded by a semi. After this twisty section, then go straight on a section of the road. A few kilometres of road and find a military checkpoint ... Do not worry, they are normally polite people looking for weapons and drug traffickers. After the check-point baskets and start partying. Getting to Pe? A white ( White Rock in English) - certainly if you need gas, is the place to stop and fill it up - you start to climb the mountain after the shooting, it is the sentence. I love this part: most of the trip can clearly see three or four laps in front of you, and since it is a little road, you can take advantage of the best lines (always a good side, if, if you know what I mean!). After climbing for a while you notice how things start to change suddenly, and what are the rocks, sand and cactus is now pine. It's beautiful .. He believes that the change in temperature and then come in La Puerta del Cielo (The Gates of Heaven ), the highest point of this trip. We are now at approximately 9200 meters above sea level ... The tour will continue, but now you are going downhill. Be sure to adjust your horse to this fact. Unfortunately, I saw more than one forget and pay the consequences. As a descendant of you are on their way through a small town called Pinal Amoles ... Instead, turn turn turn turn further reduced, in turn, ... I love it! approximately 10 miles per amol Pinal, the weather begins to change again and will be warmer. The vegetation also suffer an abrupt change. You continue to devour the road and can not help but be amazed the landscape around him ... Remember to keep your eyes on the road! turn, turn ... You are the heart of the Sierra Gorda of protected areas and home to many plants and animals. continue until you come Jalpan de Serra's largest city of Sierra Gorda and where the father Junipero Serra built one of its most important tasks in the area heading north before building mission in California. These missions have also been named a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2003. In Jalpan can find a couple of simple but charming hotels and many restaurants. Another option is to spend the night wandering a little more miles to the west at a place called Conca will find a hotel with a spa to relax after a day's journey and prepares for the remainder of the trip. Jalpan In our next stop, and the final destination is Xilitla, so that the north-east to achieve the state of San Luis Potosi. A few miles after crossing state lines in the middle of the mountains, about 3300 m oh, in a jungle vegetation incredible now Xilitla. This city was chosen by Sir Edward James, a British surrealist artist - as noble and rich - to spend the rest of his life. At this place was built a large garden, a private zoo and meditation place right in the jungle. It is very difficult to describe with words ... Perhaps photographs on this site can help you: http://www. junglegossip.com. In Xilitla can remain in the fortress The Castle home earlier Sir Edward James right hand and friend: Plutarco Gastelum. This exclusive Bed & Breakfast is unique, and you can see, smell and encouragement of the artist's influence in the world. Another option is to spend the night walking a little farther north, and stay in Ciudad Valles an important city of San Luis Potosi, where you can find all kinds of hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and so forth. ... My recommendation stay at the castle, forget the journey and enjoy a full day in Mexico this Shangri La After spending all day in Xilitla prepare for a long journey back to Queretaro. For that, I like to go early in the morning and maintain, if possible, a rapid pace. turn, turn ... We are talking about several hundred kilometres and Twisties ... When my wife counted ... She stopped when it was 500 and we did not return to the city of Queretaro yet! It is also amusing as time passes, and suddenly realize that you're there and wants to reverse the trend and do it again ... You know the feeling? Another possibility is Xilitla head of the renowned Huasteca Potosina with lush rivers, waterfalls and springs ... But this area deserves a whole article in itself. I'll write in the future.
