Monterrey

Monterrey is a thriving city—well known for its strong industrial development, world-class education, highly qualified labor force, and positive environment for business development. It is also recognized as the “Mountain City” for its beautiful landscapes and incredible shaped mountain peaks of the Sierra Madre Oriental.

It is currently Mexico’s wealthiest, most modern, and third largest city. Located in Mexico’s northeastern state of Nuevo León, the city was founded in 1596. While business and the high-tech industry draw a steady stream of business travelers, Monterrey also offers nonstop diversions for leisure travelers, from exceptional museums to outdoor adventures.

Monterrey has a variety of top-quality parks, sports venues and museums, such as the Fundidora Park, Santa Lucia Riverwalk, the Mexican History Museum, the Museum of the Northeast (MUNE) and the Contemporary Art Museum of Monterrey (MARCO) created by internationally renowned Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta.

Not far from Monterrey are several excellent nature excursions within the state of Nuevo Leon. Fifteen minutes outside of town is La Huasteca Canyon, famous for its beautiful mountains and wind-carved rock formations. Another natural attraction is the waterfall known as Cola de Caballo, a series of three wispy waterfalls that form a spectacular view.
