Get to know its mining past
You simply cannot leave
Tequis without having visited the
Minas de Ópalo de Tequisquiapan (Tequisquiapan Opal Mines), a fascinating spot where you literally get to chip away at the stone and become a miner for a day; incidentally, the best opals in the world are found right here.
The tour starts with a trip in a four-wheel drive to get to the mine, where you can collect stones and observe the majestic caves from which said precious mineral is extracted.
This
tourist attraction in Querétaro is located just 10 minutes from
Tequisquiapan, in the community of
La Trinidad. After your tour of the mine, pay a visit to the
Opal workshop and the gift shop. This is guaranteed to be one of the
best travel experiences you will have during your visit to the
“Magical Town”.
Tours begin at 10:00 am and last approximately two hours. On your way out, head into town to sample some delicious Queretero-style enchiladas or gorditas made with ground corn.
