| The district of Amealco is a center for Otomi culture in Queretaro. There are many villages here, which have retained to varying degrees their culture. The principal towns are Amealco, San Ildefonso and Santiago Mezquititlan. The potters from San Ildefonso sell there clay pumpkins all over Mexico City out of the back of trucks.
