Hello everyone! Welcome to my second podcast, this podcast is for all those who are going a little cold such as we live here in Chicago.
At this time we wish and seek warm places and we will put aside those locations such as Miami Beach, Florida ... I had the opportunity to travel to Monterrey, Mexico, in search of a warmer climate and some entertainment without being all day at the beach or something like that.
I want to introduce this city and you know all about it because you need to know!
There we go.! I’m going to start by telling you where is this city.
Monterrey is the capital city of the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo León. It has the second largest metropolitan area according to area in Mexico, after Mexico City, and is the country's third most populous city after Mexico City and Guadalajara.
When visiting this city, you will not have to go far to see what makes this metropolitan city so unique. Ideally located at the base of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico and with spacious suburbs, easy to navigate road networks and car hire options such as a utilizing a used Renault, Monterrey is a perfect tourist destination.
In addition to the variety of things to do and see in the city, there are a few unique sites that should not to be missed.
Paseo de Santa Lucia:
Peace and tranquility can be found at the Paseo de Santa Lucia, a sight not to be missed when you visit Monterrey. This calm and beautiful river may be man-made, but with sidewalks that run down either side and through the downtown area, it gives visitors the perfect opportunity to see and experience the city’s cafes and restaurants.
Whether travelling by foot or by boat, this unique canal system provides a chance to see the city from a completely different perspective. On your journey you will pass park land, gardens and museums as well as a variety of murals by local artists.
Cascadas Cola de Caballo:
For a little more action, the Cascadas Cola de Caballo and Parque Nacional Cumbres are well worth a visit. The Cascadas Cola de Cabllo are named due to their resemblance to a horse’s tail.These waterfalls provide a spectacular drop and are a popular part of the Parque Nacional Cumbres.
While a little out of the city, this is a trip worth taking with the sight and sounds of the water making your visit one you won’t forget in a hurry.
Grutas de Garcia,
Your visit would not be complete without experiencing the Grutas de Garcia. Situated beyond Villa de Garcia, just northwest of Monterrey, this cave system is found high in the mountains and is reached by a funicular railway.
The caves are believed to be around 50 million years old and exhibit some spectacular stalactites and stalagmites.
The caves are well lighted to display the art of nature itself alongside some breathtaking views of the local mountaintops. A visit here will make the perfect end to any trip to the city of Monterrey and its usual mix of city life and mountain views.
Chipinque National Park,
The most popular destination outside of Monterey is Chipinique National Park. The park has a plethora of hike and bike trails that are nestled among beautiful groves of trees. You can even stay overnight in the park at the Chipinique Hotel. For me is my favorite place! Is really amazing! You can see all city from high! Don’t be missed it!
Guys!
Don’t miss the opportunity to see this amazing city, warm weather, incredible people, delicious food and a lot of things to do there!
