My Story
​
Aguascalientes means “hot waters” – a reference to the various hot springs in the
area. The region in which Aguascalientes is situated has cave paintings and artifacts
dating back more than 20,000 years, indicating evidence of early human existence
in the area. The state is home to the San Marcos Fair, which occurs annually for two
to three weeks around the Feast Day of St. Marcos (April 25th). It is one of the largest
fairs in Latin America and is the largest fair in Mexico. Given its central location,
Aguascalientes attracts many industry trade shows and conventions, though the
San Marcos Fair brings in the signifi cant tourist trade. In the northern part of the
state are several old mining ghost towns to explore, and the Sierra Fría mountain
range offers scenic vistas, especially during the autumn leaf-peeping season.
Founded in 1575, the capital city of Aguascalientes is often referred to as “El
Corazón” (the heart of Mexico), given its central geographical location. The city
is also considered the cleanest in Latin America and has a signifi cant foreign
population from countries in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Aguascalientes is
both a business and cultural hub, with many museums and historical buildings to
visit. Both the downtown Cathedral and the Government Palace are, respectively,
impressive examples of 16th and 17th-century baroque architecture. La Estación
is a historic and recreational area surrounding the city’s old train station. The Ojo
Caliente is a historic landmark bathhouse that has been welcoming bathers to its
therapeutic waters since 1808. Cerro del Muerto is a rock formation that resembles
a man lying down as if he’s deceased. A moderate-rated, four-mile trail will reward
hikers at sunset with stunning views.
