The Sierra Gorda (lit. 'fat mountain(s)') is an ecological region centered on the northern third of the Mexican state of Querétaro and extending into the neighboring states of Guanajuato, Hidalgo and San Luis Potosí. Within Querétaro, the ecosystem extends from the center of the state starting in parts of San Joaquín and Cadereyta de Montes municipalities and covering all of the municipalities of Peñamiller, Pinal de Amoles, Jalpan de Serra, Landa de Matamoros and Arroyo Seco, for a total of 250 km2 of territory. The area is extremely rugged with high steep mountains and deep canyons. As part of the , it also contains many formations due to erosion of limestone, especially pit caves known locally as sótanos. The area is valued for its very wide diversity of plant and animal life, which is

  • Die Sierra Gorda ist ein bis zu 3100 m hohes Kalksteingebirge im Norden des mexikanischen Bundesstaats Querétaro. Ein Großteil des Gebirges ist als ausgewiesen. Die Franziskanermissionen in der Sierra Gorda wurden im Jahr 2003 von der UNESCO als Weltkulturerbe anerkannt. (de)
  • La Sierra Gorda se ubica en la región orográfica perteneciente a la vertiente del Golfo de México, con un relieve de origen sedimentario caracterizado por sierras altas con altitudes superiores a los 3,000 m s. n. m. y con amplios y profundos cañones labrados por los ríos Santa María, Extóraz y Moctezuma. Dentro de Querétaro, se ubica la Reserva de la Biósfera Sierra Gorda que ocupa el 76.68% de la misma. Es un área natural protegida y alberga miles de especies de plantas y animales, algunas de ellas protegidas y otras en peligro de extinción. En la sierra se encuentran cinco misiones franciscanas de la Sierra Gorda declaradas Patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO en el 2003. (es)

  • The Sierra Gorda (lit. 'fat mountain(s)') is an ecological region centered on the northern third of the Mexican state of Querétaro and extending into the neighboring states of Guanajuato, Hidalgo and San Luis Potosí. Within Querétaro, the ecosystem extends from the center of the state starting in parts of San Joaquín and Cadereyta de Montes municipalities and covering all of the municipalities of Peñamiller, Pinal de Amoles, Jalpan de Serra, Landa de Matamoros and Arroyo Seco, for a total of 250 km2 of territory. The area is extremely rugged with high steep mountains and deep canyons. As part of the , it also contains many formations due to erosion of limestone, especially pit caves known locally as sótanos. The area is valued for its very wide diversity of plant and animal life, which is due to the various microenvironments created by the ruggedness of the terrain and wide variation in rainfall. This is due to the mountains’ blocking of moisture coming in from the Gulf of Mexico, which generally makes the east side fairly moist and the west semiarid scrub brush. Most of the region has been protected in two biosphere reserves, with the one centered in Querétaro established in 1997 and the one centered in Guanajuato established in 2007. The Sierra Gorda is considered to be the far west of the La Huasteca region culturally and it is home to the Franciscan Missions in the Sierra Gorda World Heritage Site. (en)
