One week before the Final Competition was held, the Preliminary Competition featured a live show entitled "Nuestra Belleza Mexico: Rumbo a Miss Mundo" in which was announced that the winner of the Nuestra Belleza Mundo México title was Blanca Soto from Morelos, who would go on to represent Mexico at Miss World 1997.

It was the 2nd edition of the "Nuestra Belleza Mundo México" contest and as an official separate pageant to choose Mexico's representative to Miss World.

The musical part was enlivened by the following groups: Sentidos Opuestos, Mœnia, Paulina Rubio and Vicente Fernández.
