Horse Tail Waterfall and other Monterrey, Mexico Things to Do Tips

Cola de Caballo

A great place for a picnic is next to Horse Tails Falls, named for the wispy cascades that dive down a brilliant green face encrusted with moss. The cascades are actually three waterfalls next to each other.

Serengeti at Bioparque

In Monterrey you can find two interesting Zoo. One is in the City, named Parque La Pastora.

The other named Bioparque Estrella is outside the city, but it have a lot of animals out of gates.
In Bioparque Estrella you take like a bus and the bus rides you all around the park to let you see the differents animals running over there!!!!

Some times the animals walk to the bus so you can touch and feed them

Santa Lucia River

Take a walk thru the 'Paseo Santa Lucia'
Is a artificial river at downtonw,that let you walk next to it, and relax. Is a good walk in the day, but if you want to, can be a romanitc walk if you go there by night.
You can rent a little boat too, to go over the river, is not to long, but can be fun.

Monterrey's Cathedral

Around this square, there are some colonial buildings,like The 'Capilla de los dulces Nombres'(chapel of the sweet names), built in 1838; the metropolitan Cathedral and the Mercantile Bank.

Contrasting, in the center of the macro square is the monument 'Faro del Comercio' (Lighthouse of Trade), with a height of 70 meters and that it in its roof harbors a laser-ray equipment, and the light crosses the sky of the city of Monterrey every night (By the way this made Monterrey the first laser city of Mexico).
