Querétaro, Mexico in $370s-$400s RT

Papel picado. Papel picado EVERYWHERE. 

Yep, that's how we're celebrating these spicy fares down south — with Dia de Muertos dates to boot!

Ask anyone with a passport and a penchant for pueblos magicos and they'll tell you that while it's not as popular with foreign tourists, Queretaro's charm comes in bucketloads.

Of bougainvillea. And of mariachi bugles carried by the breeze. 

And when twilight hits and the arches of the city's aqueduct blush gold? You'll realize why locals call it Mexico's best-kept secret.
