Morning light strips across limestone ridges as the van climbs out of Querétaro and into the Sierra Gorda’s high mesa. Pine stands thin out into scrub and jagged cliffs; the Escanela River threads the valley below and seems to dare you to follow it into narrow canyons and cold, clear pools. You’ll move between viewpoints, a mining-town plaza, and a short riverside trek that ends at a dramatic gorge known locally as the Bridge of God.
