Cadereyta de Montes (Spanish: [kaðeˈɾejta ðe ˈmontes] ⓘ) is a city and municipality in the Mexican state of Querétaro.

Approximately 7,000 years ago, the Cadereyta region was inhabited by various nomad groups who hunted and collected food to sustain themselves [1].

From this conflict arose a wave of peace campaigns, which were undertaken by religious missionaries who came from Tecozautla and Huichapan, and the military [2].

In 1639 Viceroy Lope Diez of Armendariz (Marquess of Cadereyta/ Cadreita) fully supported the peace campaigns, which were being led by Captain Alonso of Tovar Guzman.

Today Cadereyta is considered one of the pueblos magicos, or magical cities, due to its colonial architecture seen in its churches, extensive culture, and various historical monuments.
