WELCOME TO AGUASCALIENTES
Located at an altitude of 6,193 feet above sea level, Aguascaliente is located high in the mountains northwest of Guadalajara. The city was named after the nearby thermal springs that were originally used by the native Indians for bathing. The extensive underground system of underground tunnels has never been completely mapped out and continues to add an element of mystery to the town.
Although a few of Hernan Cortes' men tried to conquer the city from the locals back in 1522, the locals were a bit fiesty and it took many years for the Europeans to get a foothold. The town was officially founded in 1575 and most of the activity in the area was based on agriculture.
Aguascalientes today is a significant manufacturing center, and the companies in town are just as likely to be owned by Japanese and Americans as Mexicans. The town features an annual San Marcos Fair as well as Mexico's oldest State Fair. Some of the interesting places to see in town include the Government Palace, the Municipal Palace, the old Cathedral and the Casa de Cultura. There are also two significant museums in town.
The airport is located approximately 21 miles from town (34 kilometers) and several rental car companies and taxis are available for transportation to town. The airport is served by Aero California.
Tourist information is available at the Tourist Office downtown across from the main plaza in the Government Building.
