This is a perfect area to exercise, to hike or even to go with your Family and friends to make a picnic, cooler than the city on summer time, I really like it, and if you just want to hike and then enjoy a nice meal or even stay teh night, there is an hotel at the top. Nice for staying the night and enjoy the view of the city at night.

Even at COVID-19 times, you can still enjoy art. Even I'm not a big fan of contemporary art, I really appreciate to have open places for culture at very reasonable prices.

There is a beautiful group of peacocks and different birds outside, just before you start the visit, then you have a science museum, perfect for children 3-14, and also an IMAX theater, with very interesting documentaries.

I was recently invited to hike in La Huasteca, an area just outside Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, filled with limestone mountains, many of which are long, thin and high, running in parallel lines like giant knife blades. Cañon la Huasteca, they told me, is actually the beginning of the Sierra Madre Oriental, which extends south for 1000 kilometers. I had been invited to this event by Mexico’s Bakpak Magazine Community. When they invited me to join them for their first excursion of the new year, I was delighted and honored and off I went to Monterrey... Well, these Bakpak people are pretty serious about their hikes and the day after my arrival there they were picking me up at 5:30 AM in total darkness. “I always organize the first excursion of the year as early as I can,” I was told by Alex González, founder of Bakpak. “If they are willing to get up at 5:00 AM and actually do it, I know they are hooked, and I know they are going to fall in love with the outdoors.” To my great surprise, the number of people who got up at five to stamp their feet in the dark on that cold Sunday morning came to 133. Now, I know that Alex had promised all of them a delicious breakfast of chilaquiles made with a recipe handed down from his mother, but they would only get that breakfast after several hours of hiking. What was it that had hooked over a hundred people who could have stayed in their warm beds that chilly Sunday morning? Just as the sun was peeking through the silhouettes of distant peaks, we began our hike through a flat riverbed bordered by matorral, desert scrubland. Soon we were on higher ground and reaching a level where the majestic beauty of those peaks could be appreciated. It was hard to believe that you could find such silence and solitude only 20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Monterrey, with almost 300 bolted routes that attract mountain climbers from near and far. I looked at the people around me. They were all city folk, “townies,” and here they were hiking through the mountains, and to me it looked like they were really enjoying themselves. I turned to a married couple next to me. “Are you having a good time?” “¡Sí que sí!” they replied with enthusiasm. “We’ve been going on these excursions for three years. To tell you the truth, the first hikes seemed tough and we’d go back home utterly worn out… but now we’re used to it and we love it!” My sombrero is off to the people who are introducing city folk to the great outdoors...and congratulations to the people of Monterrey who have such a great park only twenty minutes from town!
