Excursions at Monterrey

by lucyguajardo - last update: Sep 12, 2002

The slogan of Monterrey is: "Monterrey Ciudad de las Montañas", that means "Monterrey, Mountain's City". That's the reason of is very comun over here to go and walk up the hill!!!!
The mountains are so closer that make Monterrey a valley, and if you are here, you feel protected by its.
If you take a look in the map, you can notice that Monterrey is one of the city that are crossed by the "Sierra Madre".

Sierra Madre

This place is named "Chipinque". You can go there with your car, and then star walking to different ways.

Cerro de La Silla

One of the famous excursions is going to the top of the Cerro de la Silla Mountain.
You have to go with a guide because there are some dangerous or bad route.

Here are a view been in the top of the north part of the mountain, you can see the south part

Mitras

At the Cerro de la Silla you can see other mountains of the city, like the one in the pic named Mitras
