New6 h 30 minFree cancellationBy CloudGuide S.L

About this activity

Discover Monterrey's extraordinary fusion of industrial might and mountain grandeur with the self-guided tour, allowing you to explore Mexico's most ambitious metropolis at your own pace. Begin at the vast Macroplaza where the 70-meter Faro del Comercio designed by Luis Barragán sweeps its green laser across the night sky above palaces and fountains. Ride a riverboat along the 2.5-km Paseo Santa Lucía canal from downtown to Parque Fundidora, where decommissioned blast furnaces from Latin America's first steel mill have been transformed into world-class museums and open-air performance spaces. Wander the streets of Barrio Antiguo with its 17th-century architecture and contemporary galleries, then venture into the dramatic Sierra Madre Oriental — through the towering canyon walls of La Huasteca, past the 25-meter Cascada Cola de Caballo, and into the 60-million-year-old Grutas de García accessible by cable car above a landscape that reveals the geological power shaping northern Mexico.
