Tolimán, Municipality in central Querétaro, Mexico
Tolimán extends across 524.7 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in the central-western region of Querétaro state, representing 6 percent of the state territory.
The Spanish colonizers first encountered the Otomí indigenous people in this region during 1532, leading to the establishment of San Pedro Tolimán in the 16th century.
The municipality contains the largest concentration of Otomí indigenous communities in Querétaro, with major settlements in San Miguel, Barrio de Casas Viejas, and El Molino.
The municipal government consists of a council with nine aldermen and a municipal president, all elected through direct voting for three-year terms.
Each September 27th, residents construct El Chimal, a 20-meter-high structure made from cucharilla plants and decorated with flowers and food at San Miguel Chapel.
