Aguascalientes

The state of Aguacalientes, completely surrounded by the states of Jalisco and Zacatecas, is located midway between the center and west of Mexico. The land was originally populated by Chichimecs, who fiercely resisted the Spanish conquistadors. Paradoxically, yet perhaps because of its numerous gold veins, Aguascalientes is one of Mexico's most important colonial architectural sites.

The countryside ranges from forests to desert-like areas, with stunning sunsets. The abundance of hot water springs, after which it is named, means that the state has numerous recreational centers and spas. Its cultural activity, traditions and delicious cuisine, as well as its many fiestas, form an attractive mosaic that is well worth visiting.
