About one-hour flight away from Mexico City, Aguascalientes, capital of the smallest state in the country has much more than what the name suggests. The origin dates back almost 500 years ago with the discovery of hot springs and reserves of gold and silver. If nowadays the hot springs are no longer a tourist attraction, the city still counts on its architecture, its people with sweet accent and the typical food, some of the main things that travelers look for. Another attraction is Feria de San Marcos, the largest agro-industrial and folklore fair in Mexico.

The Mexican Peso is the official currency, and with R$ 1,00 you can buy about $ 6 MXN. Exchange your money in Brazil, for it is difficult to find the Brazilian currency in town. As for dollars, US$ 1 = $ 10 MXN. A meal for one person is about 50 pesos (5 dollars). Aguascalientes is considered to be one of the last safe resorts in Mexico. Even so, watch your bag when walking around. SAFETY is an important item in Mexico. Do not feel weird if you are asked to open up your bag in the airport.
