Summary
The Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site spanning 2,900 km from Mexico City to Santa Fe, New Mexico, serves as a vital cultural and historical link, witnessing pivotal events of conquest, resistance, and liberation. A multidisciplinary study focuses on the Querétaro segment, dubbed the 'gateway' or 'throat' of Tierra Adentro due to its strategic significance in the 16th century. This research integrates material and intangible heritage preservation efforts, employing a comprehensive approach akin to historical traversal methods used by ancestors. The findings underscore the site's enduring legacy as both a Mexican and global heritage, emphasizing the need for continued exploration, conservation, and dissemination of its diverse manifestations.
