Monterrey, Mexico is one of the best places in northern Mexico for hiking as it sits along the Sierra Madre Oriental Range. Translated, Monterrey means “king of mountains” which is aptly suited. While Monterrey is a modern city, it has plenty to offer any nature lover. Here are the most popular hiking locations and trails in Monterrey.
Hiking to Cola de Caballo
Let’s start our hiking adventure with the most popular spot near Monterrey. Translated to horse’s tail (or ponytail) Cola de Caballo is popular with locals and tourists because of its scenic waterfall. It is about 28 miles outside of central Monterrey. I would allow about 50 minutes to an hour to get there by car and be sure to go early because as I stated, this is a popular spot.
