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.

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.
