A historic street in downtown Monterrey passing through the Plaza de los 40 Años and the Mexican History Museum.
Reviewed By L4430FCmanuelm - Puerto Penasco, Mexico
Not only the city of Monterrey rescued an area which had been abandoned for decades if not for centuries. It added a tourist attraction for visitors as well as for locals. Although San Antonio, TX river walk was first, Monterrey’s is far larger. The boat ride is $60 pesos per adult and it includes a round trip with the opportunity to get out of the boat at the opposite end of the ride to tour the surroundings, either the Macroplaza or the Fundidora park. This river walk sits where it once was the bank of the Santa Lucía water wells where Monterrey was founded more than 400 years ago. Talk about a place with history.

Stunning and dramatic caves dating back more than 50 million years ago.
Reviewed By 182tmd - Houston, United States
This was as nice a cave as Carlsbad, NM. It helps if you know Spanish because I didn't know any. I was stuck in Monterey and this is one of two places I visited. You begin on a cable car ride. You look up and see this isn't you typical ride, it's high, all the way to the top of the mountain. Once you get going you think, wow this is Mexico, I hope they do maintenance on this. The ride was nice and we made it. You come to a steel door on the side of the mountain. The tour guide opens it and inside is a huge and took a couple of hours to complete. Although I didn't understand a thing they said, I knew about the minerals and the shells. I was told this is a place a painter named Garcia use to come to. I don't know if that's true or not. I would do this again if I felt safe going back to Monterey/Mexico.
6. Chepe

¡The most espectacular train trip in the world! Every day since 1961, El Chepe ventures into imposing landscapes of the Sierra Tarahumara, until it reaches the area that encompasses the most representative characteristics of the Tarahumara culture, history and folklore the Copper Canyon, as this región is know worldwide.
Reviewed By Roddek - Melbourne, Australia
My arrival into Los Mochis meant I was extremely fortunate to ride one of the world's great rail journeys in the Copper Canyon, which is five times larger than the Grand Canyon and is a mile and a half deeper than the latter. The El Chepe train departs at 7.30 three times a week, but I was adamant that I arrive an hour earlier. Today the train was half empty and departed right on time. I gazed out of the full panoramic windows, and I could observe that the land is harsh, inaccessible, and desolate. The ride between Los Mochis and El Fuerte moves at a steady pace, but then gradually starts to pick up speed. I could observe the small, poorly constructed dwellings that lie beside the train track, and a small single light signals that morning has broken, and families are preparing for the day ahead. The train suddenly slows its pace, as it starts to climb higher ground over one thousand meters — the landscape changes from scrub with scattered grazing cattle to a more dramatic backdrop. The Siera Madre mountain range is stunning, and the train moves through vast viaducts and wide tunnels that have been carved into the rock. The Copper Canyon railroad was given the green light in the 1840s to commence construction, but it took the latter over one hundred years to complete all the track work. As I settled into lunch, the train is climbing at a slow pace, and the view of the Canyon is merely stunning. The Interior of the train is plush, and the carriages are immaculate. The conductors and waiters are stylish attired and the service second to none. Whichever way you travel, make sure the seat is on the right side. Either way, the beauty of these sweeping mountain vistas, sheer size canyon walls, waterfalls, and lakes, etc., have stood the test of time. Every often one rises from the seat just to hang out in the vestibule, where a guest does a tricky balancing act. After lunch, we approach Dividesedero, and the depth of the canyons is easily accessible. One can view the photos and marvel at the beauty and majesty of Barrancas Di Cobra, but it takes a visit to the Canyon to appreciate the vistas and experience the warmth of the people. The entire journey from Los Michos to Chihuahua takes 26 hours, boasts 37 bridges, and 87 tunnels, along a rugged landscape that is a marvel of engineering for the early 1850s. The people that I encountered on the train are a big part of its appeal. It's the old ranches on horseback, Indigenous Tarahuane women in colourful dresses, and a group of waving children that makes it unique. I sat with some local Mexican men and women, and they never fail to impress, with their beauty, grace, good manners, and kindness. I disembarked at Divisadero for the night, and it was a great decision. The view from my hotel was unforgettable and I would not forget this easily. The next day I did a tour of the canyon and also came across the local Indians selling their wares. This trip is highly recommended for all train buffs and those wanting to experience the magnificent scenery all the way from Los Mochis to Chihuahua.

History of Horno Alto Nº 3, Horno Alto Nº 3 was designed by Arthur G. McKee & Co. from Cleveland, Ohio. The installation began in October 1965 and it began operating in January 1968, with the capacity to produce 1,500 to 2,000 tons of cast iron per day. It had the most advanced technologies, notable among which were the electronic programmer of raw materials and the automatic system for the control of furnace combustion. With the beginning of operations of Horno Alto Nº 3, the Monterrey Foundry reached a production of a million tons of steel per year, which made it the most important steel mill in Mexico.

Spectacular views of the canyon. Seven zip lines and two suspension bridges at a bargain price. Professionally run with safety as a priority. Good fun, but don’t expect to find anyone speaking English here. Luckily, we were there with another couple that were bilingual. The views are amazing from the cable car.
