Quo is a monthly Spanish-language pop-science magazine that informs about science through thinking and entertainment. It contains articles pertaining to health, sex, ecology, technology, nutrition, psychology and human life. Its content has the capability to answer all the basic doubts a person might have about the world they live in. The magazine was created in Spain by the Hachette Filipacchi publisher. It was released in Spain in 1995. Its first director was Oscar Becerra and the art director was Pancho Guijarro. Aside from Becerra and Guijarro, Juan Caño, vice president editor of Hachette, was highly involved in the creative development of the publication. A few months later Grupo Zeta released CNR in Spain, a magazine whose similarities to Quo were extraordinary. Hearst Magazines bought Hachette Filipacchi's Spanish magazines in 2011.

In 1997 the Mexican edition was started, published by Editorial Televisa and directed by Gabriel Sama. The first art director for the Mexican edition was Julio Carrasco; Rodrigo Xoconostle and Soledad Aguirre were members of the original reading team. During its first years Quo had editions in the Czech Republic, Portugal and France aside from the Mexican version. The Mexican edition went from Editorial Televisa publisher to Grupo Expansión about five years after its first appearance in Mexico. The French edition was discontinued.
