Bajío

Mexico

Bajío, the highland region of central Mexico, shares 113 connections with 7272 other places across 18 topics, with history and government as the dominant threads. At the border between Mesoamerica and Aridoamerica, the region was home to Otomi and Chichimeca peoples before becoming the starting point of Mexico's War of Independence, including the Cry of Dolores. Many of its connections run through Guanajuato, Querétaro, and Spain, reflecting colonial governance, the independence conflicts, and Franciscan mission routes that crossed the region.
