Information

The old deserted banks of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, founded on October 22, 1575, under the name of the Villa of the Virgin of the Assumption of Aguascalientes, its name is due to the abundance of hot springs in the area.  Aguascalientes is the capital of the state with the same name.  It is situated at an altitude of 1,870 meters above sea level, with a semi-arid climate and an average temperature of 17 degrees Celsius; it is the true center of the current Mexican Republic. Its geographic location places it as a key business destination as it is located 520 kilometers from Mexico City, 240 kilometers from Guadalajara, 590 kilometers from Monterrey, 160 kilometers from Leon, 130 kilometers from Zacatecas, Queretaro and 320 kilometers, and 220 kilometers from Guanajuato (distances approximate). The city of Aguascalientes is a small metropolis that holds a lot of history in its ancient buildings, but is distinguished by the growth it has shown in recent years, no doubt a modern and well planned city. It has excellent public health and educational services.
Its tourism infrastructure is first rate, with hotels in all possible categories, equipped with state of the art convention centers, restaurants with all kinds of food and entertainment such as museums, parks, squares, theaters, fairs, tours, and ecotourism activities among others. This is demonstrated every year in their very best of events, the National Fair of San Marcos, a tradition that brings more than one million visitors each issue. Within the city you should visit the Barrio de San Marcos, the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, the Government Palace, Plaza de la Patria, Plaza of the Three Centuries, the Museum of Death and the Temple of San Antonio. Outside of the city, the closest and most magical getaways are Real de Asientos, Calvillo, and San José de Gracia. But charm is only felt while you are there. So, as its inhabitants say ... Long live Aguascalientes!
