One thing we forgot is *SAFETY.* In our first Uber ride in Queretaro, we asked the driver, "How safe is Queretaro?" He said _very_ safe. I followed up with, "Is it safe for women...to walk around at night?" Without skipping a beat, he said yes! We generally consider most cities in Mexico safe but have felt ESPECIALLY safe here in Queretaro. Merida, Yucatan is considered the safest city in Mexico, but Queretaro feels even more so in my book. *P.S.

Hey gringos I have the solution for your problems with the spanish in Mexico and many other hispanic countries, and my solution is to ask your government to declare the spanish as the second language in the USA, and also it is time to have an official language in your country and of course the english is first but the spanish would be the second language to be learnt in the USA because remember your country litle by litle becomes a latin country, one day you will have presidents with last nams in spanish, your country will be included in the list of latin nations around the world etc.
Querétaro is considered an excellent example of a Spanish colonial city; its well-preserved historic centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996. It was noted for its multiethnic blend of Otomí, Tarascan, Chichimec, and Spanish residents throughout most of the colonial period.
I live in Queretaro, this city has a lot to offer because it is so close to Mexico City. The state, that has the same name, is but a dot on the map, but about more than 30 years ago a lot of large foreign companies (Kellogg's, Pfizer, Toyota, Samsung, Nestle, Procter & Gamble among many many others) began establishing their Mexico headquarters here and it grew very fast, most people living here are not originally from here, and it still is growing. You have not been here long enough to venture in the seedy sides of the city where it is dirty, full of graffiti and dangerous. Traffic here is a nightmare during rush hour, although with the pandemic and so many ppl doing "home-office" perhaps due to this there's less traffic, but that's not normal, because of the job opportunities this city has become overpopulated and the infrastructure was not originally built to support this growth, although they're always expanding the main roads and highways, but definitely the population is growing faster that the infrastructure. And this city is "rumored" to be a neutral zone for the drug dealers, meaning their families live here safely, usually they live in the most affluent areas like El Campanario, Jurica, Juriquilla and El Campestre. Even though the narcos live here safely and I'm sure they contribute to its affluence, the bulk of growth began with the substantial foreign investment in the city over 30 yearsago, most major foreign companies are located here. And also it has 7 "magic towns"/national treasures, and for the size of this state, it's unusualto have so many "magic towns". The downtown is considered one of the best preserved in all of Mexico, and for these reasons there are a lot of foreigners living here temporarily and also permanently, and there's a lot of tourism even though there's no beach here because the city itself has so much to offer as well as the 7 magical towns that surround it. Because of so much foreign investment in this state, the government makes it a point to keep it a clean and safe place to live in. However, there are a lot of areas that are pretty humble and dangerous. And in these areas you'll not only see street dogs, but homelessness as well. It's a great city, but far from perfect. Sometimes it's right in front of our noses, but we don't see it. There's a lot of homelessness downtown as well, you'll see them in the main plazas at night sleeping, right next to where you're having a lovely outdoor dinner at a fancy restaurant, at night if you observe the homeless are everywhere... not sure if now with the pandemic they're not allowed on the downtown streets, so they don't spoil the beauty of the architecture... it's quite sad... also the native people are mostly poor, homeless or near that...
And adding the fact that rich families pay to burn some protect natural areas, to change the ground use to make inmoviliary zones, and that the gobern in turn don't have respect to the threes on the center of the city, they want remplace trees for plastic Palmeras.
Too bad they stopped you from recording in the store, I was so happy to see someone finally post about how awesome the Mexican grocery stores are. We love going to the Chedraui Selecto in San Jose del Cabo. We record in there all the time. We are always blown away from how great it is!
I know, we were so bummed about that! Also Chedraui Selecto is badass. It almost feels like you need to dress up just to go inside and shop for groceries lol

@@TangerineTravels Definitely! I agree with what you say about it being a more liberal city. I feel I don't get stared at as a woman and I can wear what I want.
My brother is now living in Queretaro as a permanent resident of Mexico. He has lived there for 4 years. He loves it and I am happy for him to have found a place like Queretaro to live. He is also considering buying soon as rents are extremely high. I looked for him in your video LOL. Glad you enjoyed it and gave me a glimpse of his city.
Holly you oughtta consider to visit our City pretty often. We really like foreigners. People in here are nice with everyone Who wants to be here forever or Just being for vacations. You are gonna be welcome, whenever you wish to visit the Best México's City.
Around 9:10 you are walking past the best little French bakery cafe, Breton!! Their hot chocolate is amazing and their food is a nice change inbetween the amazing Mexican food. Prices are bit higher for Mexico but identical to what we expect at home in Vancouver.
Also, 12:49 you walked past an awesome Airbnb we stayed in with a rooftop patio and incredible interior art. Queretaro definitely shocked us for how friendly and safe it was! SMA was supposed to be our highlight and we instead were left wondering why Queretaro wasn’t as busy!
Hi guys. I live in Queretaro, there’s a suburb area that’s called Zibata, very lovely place and safe. It has a golf course that is public, you don’t need any membership. If you want also, you can stay with us, we have enough space. Cheers.
My husband and I are thinking about visiting there soon, and would like to find out more about your place to stay. Wld u pls reply to my email ? thbcosmos@gmail.com Thank you !
Honestly, Queretaro looks like one of the nicest cities I've seen on any of the travel / ex-pat channels! I think that I may have to visit there on vacation someday!
One of the most fun craft breweries I have ever been to is in Queretaro. You should check it out. Jump in a taxi or Uber and head to Cerveceria Hércules. It's in an old textile mill. Really cool.
I am so yearning to go to Mexico again and especially to Queretero. Hopefully, it will be possible to travel with peace of mind again. Another great video, guys!
I was born in Mexico City, and I moved to Queretaro where I lived 3 years, I got to say that from all cities I have visited in Mexico, Queretaro is the coolest by far. Pretty warm city, beautiful, full of history and amazing people. I can't wait to go back there.
I worked in Queretaro for a few months back a few years ago and was amazed by how many expats were there! Love the town, the food, the spray paint artists and the friendly people! Would definitely want to visit again!
I visited Queretaro once. I LOVED that place. It's very clean, the people are SO nice and kind and welcoming, and it has great places to visit and to eat at. It's a bit of an expensive city, but the salaries are very good as well, due to all the huge companies and factories around.
At the 5:43 mark in this video (when you talk about dogs), behind you across the street, is a casa where I stayed for a few months, many years ago. The bigger building nearer to you, on the corner across the street, is the Secretary of Education building, which was said to be haunted. We drank a lot of cervezas sitting up on the rooftop of that casa! We watched fireworks, passersby, processions and parades from up there, too. I think there were three generations of family living in that house, at the time. Cool people. Cool, old, funky house, with rooms/apartments ringing a central courtyard.
I stayed for a summer in a smaller pueblo in the state of Queretaro when I was 18. When I went into the city with some friends I met there, her house was huge, gated and really nice. Definitely a lot of wealthy areas around Queretaro.
Follower from Querétaro here. About the golf courses, I go to the one in zibata that is public and in the driving range I used to pay $50 pesos for 50 balls and that includes the rent of the golf clubs. I'm happy that you are finally here!!
For those who are possibly confused, apparently Perenganito had originally referred to his golf clubs as 'sticks' but after being questioned by a confused Wheeler Perenganito edited his initial comment and changed the word 'sticks' to golf clubs. This should make more sense after re-reading all the comments.
Maddie and Jordan, I used to spend my childhood summers there at my grandparents Motel, El Baron back in the 60s and 70s. I always loved it there. It was clean then and clean now. It's just gotton so much more populated and expensive to live there. But, its still one of my choice locations to eventually retire in that area. Theres a restaurant in the downtown area called La Mariposa. Its been there for ages. Make sure you try the tomatillo chicken enchiladas. They are fabulous! Enjoy!
Question. I live in Costa Rica and a motel here is always for sexual encounters, never for just a place to stay when traveling. Is that not true in Mexico?
@Galleta de Soda Costa Rican society is also conservative due to Catholicism. From what I understand, motels were used not because of tourism but because people who were dating or having affairs, etc., needed a place away from prying eyes to have sex. At any rate, anything that is used for tourism is called a hotel while a motel is only for sex. I don't want to post links here but if you do a google search for Teletica (local TV station) and moteles, you'll see what I mean
@@stevekollen1672 I believe the motels are used for sexual encounters of the married type as well since so many people live in small multi-generational households it is difficult to get any privacy. I also read on a travel blog that some people use these motels while traveling with their household possessions to keep their things safe overnight as you pull into an enclosed space and no one can see your car or its contents. Smart idea!
@@stevekollen1672 No. In Mexico, a motel (motor-hotel) is a hotel in which each room has its own parking lot. It is totally familiar. For sexual encounters there are the 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙈𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙡.
My dad is from Santa Rosa La Finca, Queretaro (beautiful ranch). He has a house there which probably needs some work but it is still a nice home. I never though people would admire Queretaro because it was a low key hidden gem. Safe and quiet place since I've been going there since I was a little kid. I'm 30 now btw. ❤
Great to see you guys finally do Queretaro. I'm thinking of moving to Mexico in a few years and Queretaro and Guadalajara are the two main locations I'm looking at.
Yay!! My mother's home state, so glad you guys liked it. I feel horrible for not doing as much as I should or my mother would like but when I do I am never disappointed
Hey Tangerinies, have to say watching you guys was one of the things which made us more comfortable with moving to Mexico. We chose Queretaro and have been quite happy here. Have to agree with your assessments of the city. I would add on though while it isn’t very touristy it is heavy on working expats because of all the international companies here. That I am sure is what keeps the prices higher. If it wasn’t for the dang pandemic, would love to meet up for a drink or something.
Thank you for walk thru down town, i went back to my pass when i used to walk the streets if queretaro. Because queretaro is and industrial city, is less people that their roots are from Queretaro. Many people from all over the world.
I spent five days in Queretaro and they were without a doubt the most uncomfortable days of my entire life. Of course, the fact that four of them were spent in the ICU following triple bypass surgery accounts for the negative review. I will say this. Queretaro has amazingly good cardiac surgeons, nurses, and hospitals. Now that we've received our second doses, my wife and I are looking forward to returning to Queretaro (from our home in San Miguel de Allende) for some sightseeing.
@@1EQUALS-INFINITY living in Tequisquiapan area for the past 3 years. But thinking of moving to a cheaper town, almost everything costs more in this town. From your name I’m guessing you live in QRO state, what area?
Welcome to one of my most favorite cities in Mexico...you mentioned the absence of graffiti and tagging in Quretaro...this might be why...in some cities there is a law that if a kid is caught defacing a wall not only he but his whole family must not only repair what he did but must clean up other sites as well...this puts breaks on this activity...also...you've rented a home there...you are expected to clean the sidewalk from the front of your house to the curbside gutter daily..if not expect a fine and stares from your neighbors...so do your part and enjoy this beautiful Ciudad
Great video, as usual. One thing your might want to know is that Querétaro city is where many of the wealthiest families have moved to from Mexico City, the reason you see what you see. Also, privacy, security and safety are essential to live there for these families and comes in handy for the rest.
I love your videos. Yes in Mexico ppl dress way more conservative than in the US. As an example. My father or my mother never ever wore shorts only when we went on vacation to the beach. Thanks for your videos. You are such fine human beings
Same experience for me. I have taken pictures in the past of lovely bookstores in Mexico City, and of a few of the cultural centres, like the Elena Garro centro de cultura, and the Octavio Paz centro de cultura. Each time, a security guard came along and told me to stop taking pictures. Never understood it. Free advertising,exactly. Showing the folks back in Canada how amazing Mexico City is.
Thank you for this video. I'm not enjoying Merida and am looking to relocate to Queretaro. The fact that they employ street cleaners and no stray dogs is amazing! Maybe we'll cross paths one day.
Back before the pandemic,these streets would be filled with life,the night life in the parks at El Centro of Queretaro. during Christmas they set up the Nativity scene its beautiful 😍❤ The museums are amazing too
I spent six months motorcycling Mexico and Centro America in 2010. I kept coming back to Queretaro. I spent a month in Guanajuato, and just enjoyed every aspect of the high altitude desert. Now that expat retirement is in the cards, I keep coming back to the idea of staying in Queretaro. Also interested in looking at Merida. A lot has changed in the last 12 years or so, which makes it good to get recent info on the security scene. I can see how people would not want to be videographed at all when there are narco and secuestador pressures around the corner.
Querétaro es justo mi ciudad favorita entre las que conozco. Moderna con mucha historia además de todas las cualidades que mencionaron. También me encanta la ubicación, cerca tantas ciudades que puedes visitar y regresar si quieres el mismo día. Gracias y bendiciones
Wow yo aquí apenas conociendo su canal, vivo en Querétaro y realmente es hermoso tiene mucha historia y grandes edificios históricos les falto mucho por mostrar , espero se la hayan pasado bien... saludos
My parents lived in juriquilla for 2 years and they loved it. So did I when I visited for vacation, so many places around it. My dad was an engineer in one of these factories and he did tell me there was so many Asians. They are planning on going back to retired there in a few years, thats how much they liked queretaro
I’ve watched tons of your videos, my girlfriend and I have been in Guanajuato city and San Miguel the last 10 days. We are coming to Quererato for 4 nights starting Sunday, really looking forward to it. I assumed we would stay in the historic district but it appears there are quite a few nice areas. This looks like a very livable city. We have often thought about moving to Mexico maybe this is the place.
The wind issue is just a seasonal thing. Still have good memories of my visit in late 2019. If you're going to stay in Juriquilla, you'll need to upgrade your wardrobe. I visited Plaza Náutica, but it was a little too ritzy for my taste. There are lots of interesting places in the neighboring towns. You need to visit El Geiser Hidalgo for a few days. It's a wonderful water park with an authentic hot spring that feeds the pools. Also, nearby is Campamento La Isla Tzibanzá. It's great place for relaxation in a more natural setting.
Gracias por visitar nuestra chulada de ciudad y que bueno que les haya gustado❤️ 😊 bienvenidos siempre 👍 me gustó mucho su video, su paseo por el centro que es bellísimo. Saludos de una Queretana 🇲🇽
Since a long time in History, Queretaro has been known to be the headquarters of Mexican elite. Since the 1800"s this state has been playing a very important role in politics and most of the families of politicians have been living there and not to forget those powerful foreign industries that have established their factories. In other words: La crema y nata of Mexican society lives in this state.
Hello folks. I am glad you're having a good time in QRO which happens to be one of my favorite cities in Mexico and one of the Mexican states with the highest quality of living in all the country. I currently live in Toluca, but hope to move to QRO once the pandemia is over. I look forward to moving to QRO: It's safe, clean, the economy is good, there a lot of cool places not far from QRO city to make short visits and it's not that far from CDMX and other major from Central and Western Mexico. QRO is famous for being a conservative city. Many Mexicans would describe QRO city as "rich Catholics". In recent years QRO has received immigration from other Mexican states and countries. Maybe that factor has made the local society less conservative. Anyway, hope you keep having a good time there. I recommend visiting the "pueblos mágicos" Bernal, Cadereyta. You may also consider visiting the city of San Luis Potosí. Its historic center is remarkable and not as touristy as San Miguel de Allende.
Queretaro is where the revolution was plotted but started in a little town miles away from Queretaro (Dolores, Guanajuato) by ringing a bell in the el Centro del Centro (100% real no fake). That's why it's so important in Mexican culture, in a way, Queretaro is like Philadelphia. But, nowadays as you point out, all the high-tech industry in Mexico is located also in Queretaro. Because it's a strategic place to go and back easy from all of Mexico (Monterrey, Guadalajara and CDMX) and even to the US (google the highway between San Antonio, Texas and Monterrey ). If you want to see all kind of worldwide factories go to San Juan del Rio. The reason why there's a huge population of Asian people in Queretaro is not the factories tho, (Monterrey has also a lot of them), is the fact Mexico is a key inbetween the airspace chain industry. This is why Coreans and Mexicans start working together, but they love each other's culture because both cultures have in common the path of spiciness and the love of gathering with related family. Japan is also loved for the Anime industry and Mexico and Japan have a commercial and cultural relationship that goes back a little bit more than 400 years. (There's a lot of Mexicoreanos and Japomexicanos).
Wow finally someone who knows history!! Bravo 🙌🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Im always trying to remind both Mexicans and non Mexicans about history and how migrations to America includes Mexico as part of the three North American countries with the most migration from all over the world 🌍 which it’s not recent it’s been hundreds of years. Most Mexicans are mixed race with pretty much most of the world and they don’t even know it lol 😂
I love Querétaro. You should visit Tzibanza, an artificial island where you can rest, fish and eat delicious meals made from scratch. I don't know why but the food you find in the Sierra Gorda or near it tastes so much better.
Greetings from North Phoenix! Born in Querétaro but raised in the states. I will be out there in Querétaro this summer for a couple of weeks. Hopefully you guys are still around and maybe I get a chance to come across you guys. I’ve been watching you guy’s videos for quite a while now. Stay safe you guys. Take care.
Weather is a big factor in finding an area of places to live . I lived in the midwest and hate anywhere that the wind blows. Even here in the Pacfic Northwest where we normaly don't have a lot of strong winds it has been a windy spring in Feb and March and it puts me into immediate down mood and energy. Great city to visit but I'm sure that the disparity in living is tough economically.
Querétaro today is an important industrial and tourist center, which attracts both local and international visitors. welcome and receive a cordial greeting.
@@TangerineTravels City Market is part of the La Comer chain. They have the regular stores called "La Comer", but City Market is their high end store. The same as Chedauri, and you have the Chedauri Select which is nice like the City Market.
@@TangerineTravels they are in the process of building a City Market in San Miguel, across from our recently updated LA Comer. So many changes happening in SMA. Glad you have found your new home! Take a trip to Mineral de Posoz when you get a chance. There are mines that you can visit as well as some small shops selling really cool indigenous musical instruments. The architecture is quite different as well as the homes are made of the local light-colored stone.
Great city, been there a few times. Try eating at restaurant "La Mariposa" in the Centro, been a city staple for generations. Known for their green enchiladas. Make sure you try a torta ahogada in town as well. Enjoyed the video guys.
Awesome video guys. You should go to Tequisquiapan, it's a very nice small town around 1 hour away from Querétaro. I was born there and highly recommend it for a visit.

@@kelleecorti6968 They are. Most Mexicans put them regardless of how safe the zone is, because, why not have an extra safety measure?
I worked in Queretaro for a few months back a few years ago and was amazed by how many expats were there! Love the town, the food, the spray paint artists and the friendly people! Would definitely want to visit again!
Me gusta como hablan de esta hermosa ciudad, todos son bienvenidos mientras aporten algo positivo a la ciudad..
I visited Queretaro once. I LOVED that place. It's very clean, the people are SO nice and kind and welcoming, and it has great places to visit and to eat at. It's a bit of an expensive city, but the salaries are very good as well, due to all the huge companies and factories around.
At the 5:43 mark in this video (when you talk about dogs), behind you across the street, is a casa where I stayed for a few months, many years ago. The bigger building nearer to you, on the corner across the street, is the Secretary of Education building, which was said to be haunted. We drank a lot of cervezas sitting up on the rooftop of that casa! We watched fireworks, passersby, processions and parades from up there, too. I think there were three generations of family living in that house, at the time. Cool people. Cool, old, funky house, with rooms/apartments ringing a central courtyard.
The security at the super market were probably protecting they’re high end customers from accidental being filmed
Thats exactly what I thought
My dad grew up in the area, Queretaro is known to have many "important" residents, if you know what I mean. That's why it is so safe.
Most Narco’s families live in Queretaro, that’s why is so secure.

You two were born for each other. Make an awesome couple.
Aw thank you! After over 5 years, we're still really happy together 😍
They totally do.
Put a ring on it. Get married
@@jerrywolfe2967 I 'm thinking the same thing.....perhaps that is the big news they are teasing us with.
Yes!! You are awesome together!!
I stayed for a summer in a smaller pueblo in the state of Queretaro when I was 18. When I went into the city with some friends I met there, her house was huge, gated and really nice. Definitely a lot of wealthy areas around Queretaro.
Follower from Querétaro here. About the golf courses, I go to the one in zibata that is public and in the driving range I used to pay $50 pesos for 50 balls and that includes the rent of the golf clubs. I'm happy that you are finally here!!
rent of the sticks?? do you mean golf clubs???
@@dougwheeler1265 you are right, let me correct that 👌.
For those who are possibly confused, apparently Perenganito had originally referred to his golf clubs as 'sticks' but after being questioned by a confused Wheeler Perenganito edited his initial comment and changed the word 'sticks' to golf clubs. This should make more sense after re-reading all the comments.
@@erikdahl1293 yep, that's exactly what happened
What a great video! Can’t wait to see more! I love Queretaro!
Que padre que les gusto, yo vivo en Querétaro y estoy fascinada. La verdad que Querétaro tiene muchos lugares impresionantes.
I hope you soon visit the Sierra Gorda, in the north part of Querétaro. Greetings from Jalpan de Serra!
Holy smokes!!! Those markets are the best looking markets I have ever seen!
Maddie and Jordan, I used to spend my childhood summers there at my grandparents Motel, El Baron back in the 60s and 70s. I always loved it there. It was clean then and clean now. It's just gotton so much more
populated and expensive to live there. But, its still one of my choice locations to eventually retire in that area. Theres a restaurant in the downtown area called La Mariposa. Its been there for ages. Make sure you try the tomatillo chicken enchiladas. They are fabulous! Enjoy!
Question. I live in Costa Rica and a motel here is always for sexual encounters, never for just a place to stay when traveling. Is that not true in Mexico?
@Galleta de Soda Costa Rican society is also conservative due to Catholicism. From what I understand, motels were used not because of tourism but because people who were dating or having affairs, etc., needed a place away from prying eyes to have sex. At any rate, anything that is used for tourism is called a hotel while a motel is only for sex.
I don't want to post links here but if you do a google search for Teletica (local TV station) and moteles, you'll see what I mean
@@stevekollen1672 I believe the motels are used for sexual encounters of the married type as well since so many people live in small multi-generational households it is difficult to get any privacy. I also read on a travel blog that some people use these motels while traveling with their household possessions to keep their things safe overnight as you pull into an enclosed space and no one can see your car or its contents. Smart idea!
@@stevekollen1672 No.
In Mexico, a motel (motor-hotel) is a hotel in which each room has its own parking lot. It is totally familiar.
For sexual encounters there are the 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙈𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙡.
My dad is from Santa Rosa La Finca, Queretaro (beautiful ranch). He has a house there which probably needs some work but it is still a nice home. I never though people would admire Queretaro because it was a low key hidden gem. Safe and quiet place since I've been going there since I was a little kid. I'm 30 now btw. ❤
Great to see you guys finally do Queretaro. I'm thinking of moving to Mexico in a few years and Queretaro and Guadalajara are the two main locations I'm looking at.
Nice tour. Very diverse place. Alot of wealth. All those car manufacturers.
Stay safe.
Yay!! My mother's home state, so glad you guys liked it. I feel horrible for not doing as much as I should or my mother would like but when I do I am never disappointed
Hey Tangerinies, have to say watching you guys was one of the things which made us more comfortable with moving to Mexico. We chose Queretaro and have been quite happy here. Have to agree with your assessments of the city. I would add on though while it isn’t very touristy it is heavy on working expats because of all the international companies here. That I am sure is what keeps the prices higher. If it wasn’t for the dang pandemic, would love to meet up for a drink or something.
Thank you for walk thru down town, i went back to my pass when i used to walk the streets if queretaro. Because queretaro is and industrial city, is less people that their roots are from Queretaro. Many people from all over the world.
Que bueno que les haya gustado Querétaro🙌🏻✨Les mando un gran saludo!!
Another great video! How I wish I could be in Mexico right now!
Hope you get to travel here soon, David!
I feel this so much it physically hurts.
Queretaro City, my lively birthplace! I miss it so much after I moved to California. Need to go back asap!
I went there 2 weeks ago, i spent 1 week.
You should go to sierra gorda is a paradise with waterfalls and go to peña de bernal also
Thanks for the suggestions! We love waterfalls
Wow, it’s amazing to see a city in Mexico without graffiti everywhere on the walls. That’s really nice to see.
Wow, this is the most lively and upbeat comments about a ME places, we have been focus on Queretaro for some time. Very enjoyable piece.
Great video Jordan! Love looking at houses with you guys!
Congrats guys !! Beautiful place. I’m a Mexican living in Toronto and visited Queretaro like 4 years ago. Enjoy
I spent five days in Queretaro and they were without a doubt the most uncomfortable days of my entire life. Of course, the fact that four of them were spent in the ICU following triple bypass surgery accounts for the negative review. I will say this. Queretaro has amazingly good cardiac surgeons, nurses, and hospitals. Now that we've received our second doses, my wife and I are looking forward to returning to Queretaro (from our home in San Miguel de Allende) for some sightseeing.
Hi Maddie and Jordan, can you guys cover the health insurance, and local health clinics in case a person needs urgent care or routine checkups, etc.
Welcome to Querétaro!!!🇲🇽 La ciudad más bonita de México
Hey M and/or J and Laska...how are the prices for rent, food, etc...in Queretaro compared to San Miguel de Allende? Thanks.
The wind is a precursor to the rain. We finally got a little the other day. We desperately need more.
@@1EQUALS-INFINITY living in Tequisquiapan area for the past 3 years. But thinking of moving to a cheaper town, almost everything costs more in this town. From your name I’m guessing you live in QRO state, what area?
Thanks a lot to came to my city, and the review ! You guys are welcome back wherever you want ! ❤️🇲🇽
Querétaro seems like a kick ass City.
Querétaro es Extraordinario y la ciudad más limpia de todo el país!!! ❤️😍🇲🇽 Bienvenidos y gracias por mostrarlo al mundo 🙌
Realmente me encantó Querétaro! Yo también quiero visitarlo!! 🥰
We live in Puebla Historic District and I am delighted to say that they pick up the trash 6 nights a week here !
Querétaro es muy bonito. Gracias por visitarnos. El Centro es patrimonio cultural de la humanidad. Saludos :)
Que alegria que les gusto nuestro hermoso estado. Saludoa y buena vibra.
As usual a fantastic video-loved it!
Thank you :)
I fell in love with Queretaro when I first visited. I'm thinking of moving there, too! :D
Queretaro is an absolute gem with many different travel options available.

Querétaro is BOMB! Chucho El Roto is an amazing place to eat! The aqueduct and the story to the aqueduct is touching.
Welcome to one of my most favorite cities in Mexico...you mentioned the absence of graffiti and tagging in Quretaro...this might be why...in some cities there is a law that if a kid is caught defacing a wall not only he but his whole family must not only repair what he did but must clean up other sites as well...this puts breaks on this activity...also...you've rented a home there...you are expected to clean the sidewalk from the front of your house to the curbside gutter daily..if not expect a fine and stares from your neighbors...so do your part and enjoy this beautiful Ciudad
Qué bueno que les gustó mi ciudad!, saludos!
Great video, as usual. One thing your might want to know is that Querétaro city is where many of the wealthiest families have moved to from Mexico City, the reason you see what you see. Also, privacy, security and safety are essential to live there for these families and comes in handy for the rest.
Ah! Very interesting. I didn’t know that! Thank you for sharing!! 😊
I love your videos. Yes in Mexico ppl dress way more conservative than in the US. As an example. My father or my mother never ever wore shorts only when we went on vacation to the beach. Thanks for your videos. You are such fine human beings
These two do such a fantastic job.
The beauty and freedom in Mexico!
check out queretaro around christmas - the light displays every night are amazing!
Same experience for me. I have taken pictures in the past of lovely bookstores in Mexico City, and of a few of the cultural centres, like the Elena Garro centro de cultura, and the Octavio Paz centro de cultura. Each time, a security guard came along and told me to stop taking pictures. Never understood it. Free advertising,exactly. Showing the folks back in Canada how amazing Mexico City is.
Thank you for this video. I'm not enjoying Merida and am looking to relocate to Queretaro. The fact that they employ street cleaners and no stray dogs is amazing! Maybe we'll cross paths one day.
Back before the pandemic,these streets would be filled with life,the night life in the parks at El Centro of Queretaro. during Christmas they set up the Nativity scene its beautiful 😍❤ The museums are amazing too
I spent six months motorcycling Mexico and Centro America in 2010. I kept coming back to Queretaro. I spent a month in Guanajuato, and just enjoyed every aspect of the high altitude desert. Now that expat retirement is in the cards, I keep coming back to the idea of staying in Queretaro. Also interested in looking at Merida. A lot has changed in the last 12 years or so, which makes it good to get recent info on the security scene. I can see how people would not want to be videographed at all when there are narco and secuestador pressures around the corner.
i look forward to your videos more than I do the weekend itself and having days off :)
Querétaro es justo mi ciudad favorita entre las que conozco. Moderna con mucha historia además de todas las cualidades que mencionaron. También me encanta la ubicación, cerca tantas ciudades que puedes visitar y regresar si quieres el mismo día. Gracias y bendiciones
Tienes razon, Anali! Gracias por ver nuestro video :)
Wow yo aquí apenas conociendo su canal, vivo en Querétaro y realmente es hermoso tiene mucha historia y grandes edificios históricos les falto mucho por mostrar , espero se la hayan pasado bien... saludos
Saludos desde México puebla 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 que alegría que vengan a visitar este hermoso país amigos
Thanks guys. QRO is our first choice to retire to in Mexico. Great info as usual. Can't wait for next week's video.
Good option 👍
My parents lived in juriquilla for 2 years and they loved it. So did I when I visited for vacation, so many places around it.
My dad was an engineer in one of these factories and he did tell me there was so many Asians. They are planning on going back to retired there in a few years, thats how much they liked queretaro
I live in Querétaro and indeed is a nice place to live. Lots of people are moving to this city from Mexico City as well. I am glad you like it!
Yes we are sick from people from Mexico city,
It looked lovely to me!
@@Lucita3 don't say that, I'm a chilango guy
I’ve watched tons of your videos, my girlfriend and I have been in Guanajuato city and San Miguel the last 10 days. We are coming to Quererato for 4 nights starting Sunday, really looking forward to it. I assumed we would stay in the historic district but it appears there are quite a few nice areas. This looks like a very livable city. We have often thought about moving to Mexico maybe this is the place.
Where are you from guys?
Welcome to Mexico. 🇲🇽
The wind issue is just a seasonal thing. Still have good memories of my visit in late 2019. If you're going to stay in Juriquilla, you'll need to upgrade your wardrobe. I visited Plaza Náutica, but it was a little too ritzy for my taste. There are lots of interesting places in the neighboring towns. You need to visit El Geiser Hidalgo for a few days. It's a wonderful water park with an authentic hot spring that feeds the pools. Also, nearby is Campamento La Isla Tzibanzá. It's great place for relaxation in a more natural setting.
Gracias por visitar nuestra chulada de ciudad y que bueno que les haya gustado❤️ 😊 bienvenidos siempre 👍 me gustó mucho su video, su paseo por el centro que es bellísimo.
Saludos de una Queretana 🇲🇽
I love these type of videos/ content that lets me travel through you guys. Always looking forward to see your next destination.
Since a long time in History, Queretaro has been known to be the headquarters of Mexican elite. Since the 1800"s this state has been playing a very important role in politics and most of the families of politicians have been living there and not to forget those powerful foreign industries that have established their factories. In other words: La crema y nata of Mexican society lives in this state.
Hello folks. I am glad you're having a good time in QRO which happens to be one of my favorite cities in Mexico and one of the Mexican states with the highest quality of living in all the country. I currently live in Toluca, but hope to move to QRO once the pandemia is over. I look forward to moving to QRO: It's safe, clean, the economy is good, there a lot of cool places not far from QRO city to make short visits and it's not that far from CDMX and other major from Central and Western Mexico. QRO is famous for being a conservative city. Many Mexicans would describe QRO city as "rich Catholics". In recent years QRO has received immigration from other Mexican states and countries. Maybe that factor has made the local society less conservative. Anyway, hope you keep having a good time there. I recommend visiting the "pueblos mágicos" Bernal, Cadereyta. You may also consider visiting the city of San Luis Potosí. Its historic center is remarkable and not as touristy as San Miguel de Allende.
Queretaro is where the revolution was plotted but started in a little town miles away from Queretaro (Dolores, Guanajuato) by ringing a bell in the el Centro del Centro (100% real no fake). That's why it's so important in Mexican culture, in a way, Queretaro is like Philadelphia. But, nowadays as you point out, all the high-tech industry in Mexico is located also in Queretaro. Because it's a strategic place to go and back easy from all of Mexico (Monterrey, Guadalajara and CDMX) and even to the US (google the highway between San Antonio, Texas and Monterrey ). If you want to see all kind of worldwide factories go to San Juan del Rio. The reason why there's a huge population of Asian people in Queretaro is not the factories tho, (Monterrey has also a lot of them), is the fact Mexico is a key inbetween the airspace chain industry. This is why Coreans and Mexicans start working together, but they love each other's culture because both cultures have in common the path of spiciness and the love of gathering with related family. Japan is also loved for the Anime industry and Mexico and Japan have a commercial and cultural relationship that goes back a little bit more than 400 years. (There's a lot of Mexicoreanos and Japomexicanos).
Wow finally someone who knows history!! Bravo 🙌🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Im always trying to remind both Mexicans and non Mexicans about history and how migrations to America includes Mexico as part of the three North American countries with the most migration from all over the world 🌍 which it’s not recent it’s been hundreds of years. Most Mexicans are mixed race with pretty much most of the world and they don’t even know it lol 😂
I love Querétaro. You should visit Tzibanza, an artificial island where you can rest, fish and eat delicious meals made from scratch. I don't know why but the food you find in the Sierra Gorda or near it tastes so much better.
Querétaro Is a great place to live in. I lived in Arkansas for 17 years and I don't regret moving here.
wow thats a crazy switch.
Same in San Jose del Cabo! Very safe, very affordable,Very Community minded 🏝️🤗
hahaha, so funny a couple being romantic while wearing their masks.. @9:41
I dunno about "romantic." That poor girl looked trapped! 😂
Orgulloso de ser queretano! 💙💙
I see why you guys chose to live in Queretaro, it’s beautiful….great choice!!!
Greetings from North Phoenix! Born in Querétaro but raised in the states. I will be out there in Querétaro this summer for a couple of weeks. Hopefully you guys are still around and maybe I get a chance to come across you guys. I’ve been watching you guy’s videos for quite a while now. Stay safe you guys. Take care.
Weather is a big factor in finding an area of places to live . I lived in the midwest and hate anywhere that the wind blows. Even here in the Pacfic Northwest where we normaly don't have a lot of strong winds it has been a windy spring in Feb and March and it puts me into immediate down mood and energy. Great city to visit but I'm sure that the disparity in living is tough economically.
i love wind and rain, I hate freezing cold and killer heat!
Never been to Querétaro but now it's on my list as soon as things relax a little bit. Nice to see how clean the city looks. Stay safe....
On my list too!! 😀
Thank you for the picture in Costco guys I was so happy. You made my day!
Querétaro today is an important industrial and tourist center, which attracts both local and international visitors. welcome and receive a cordial greeting.
Que bien que les gustó mucho mi precioso Querétaro saludos
City Market is all we have available to us here. And they definitely DON'T look that!! Always so happy to see your videos on Saturday mornings!
Is it a different company that's also named City Market? Also thanks for tuning in every Saturday, Laurie :)
@@TangerineTravels City Market is part of the La Comer chain. They have the regular stores called "La Comer", but City Market is their high end store. The same as Chedauri, and you have the Chedauri Select which is nice like the City Market.
citymarket is better than a costco or sams club
How rude of those people to follow you after turning your cámaras off.I don’t like being followed while shopping.I don’t feel welcome
@@TangerineTravels they are in the process of building a City Market in San Miguel, across from our recently updated LA Comer. So many changes happening in SMA. Glad you have found your new home! Take a trip to Mineral de Posoz when you get a chance. There are mines that you can visit as well as some small shops selling really cool indigenous musical instruments. The architecture is quite different as well as the homes are made of the local light-colored stone.
it must be Very nice place in Mexico and thank u for sharing us.
Thanks so much for talk so nice about my hometown city. Querétaro saludos desde Philadelphia
Great city, been there a few times. Try eating at restaurant "La Mariposa" in the Centro, been a city staple for generations. Known for their green enchiladas. Make sure you try a torta ahogada in town as well. Enjoyed the video guys.
Awesome video guys. You should go to Tequisquiapan, it's a very nice small town around 1 hour away from Querétaro. I was born there and highly recommend it for a visit.
Tequisquiapan sounds very interesting!! I never been there!!
