Pinal de Amoles, Municipality in Sierra Gorda, Querétaro, Mexico.

The municipality of Pinal de Amoles extends across 705 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, containing 198 communities at elevations between 839 and 3160 meters.

The San José Parish Church, constructed in 1771, features a three-level bell tower and represents the religious heritage of this predominantly Catholic region.

The municipality government operates through a president and nine regidores, managing services for 27,365 residents distributed across 207 different locations.
