Monterrey

Considered one of the nation's top three business centers and the closest of the three to the U.S. border, Monterrey is a modern city that hasn't lost its traditional feel. The large squares and emblematic architectural monuments offer a blend of old and new, as you'll see in the structures surrounding the famous Macroplaza, which offers a clear example of the city's urban development. On the other hand, you'll also find places like the Parque Nacional Cumbres de Monterrrey (Cumbres de Monterrey National Park), which has incredible natural scenery such as waterfalls, forests, mountains, abysses and many other natural wonders. There you can do all kinds of outdoor recreational activities, including hiking, rappelling and rock climbing.
